My Highness

A total of 22 entries remain at the latest forfeit stage in Sunday's G1 Prix du Jockey Club, among them Andre Fabre's Komorebi. Owned by Godolphin, the bay was second to Rayif (Sea The Moon) in the G1 Poule d'Essai des Poulains on May 10. The colt, by Pinatubo, would be the fifth winner of the iconic race for his 80-year-old trainer who previously celebrated victories with Peintre Celebre (1997), Lope De Vega (2010), Intello (2013), and New Bay in 2015. "He ran a really nice race and he will...

Andre Fabre has snapped up champion jockey Oisin Murphy to ride My Highness (Ghaiyyath) in the Betfred 1,000 Guineas on Sunday. Fabre, who last won the fillies' Classic in 2014 with Miss France, moved quickly once he knew Murphy would be available. The Godolphin-owned My Highness won three of her four outings as a juvenile, including a Group 2 at Deauville. She was beaten in the Prix Imprudence earlier this month, but Fabre was not too concerned by that and can point to the fact Miss France also suffered defeat...

Ghaiyyath is still awaiting a major winner in Britain and Ireland but he is compiling an interesting record in other parts of the world, including Australia, and to his G1 VRC Derby winner Observer was added Saturday's G2 Tulloch Stakes winner Storm Leopard. Most exciting of Ghaiyyath's second European crop last year was Godolphin's My Highness, who went unbeaten through four starts for Andre Fabre, culminating in an impressive victory in the G2 Sumbe Prix du Calvados last August.  Notably, amid a flurry of French Classic entries for the Fabre...

Wertheimer et Frere homebred Sosie, third in the G1 Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe, is pointing to the G1 Hong Kong Vase, trainer Andre Fabre announced. The three-time Group 1-winning son of Sea The Stars was slated to retire at the end of the season. "He ran his race [in the Arc], he ran right up to his form. The plan with him now is to go to Hong Kong," said Fabre, who has won the Vase three times with Borgia (Acatenango) (1999), Flintshire (Dansili) (2014) and Junko (Intello) (2023)....
