Ground conditions again prove central element in Champions Day conclusion to cross-channel flat campaign“She obviously ran a fantastic race in the Boussac last time. Wayne gave her a lovely ride, kept it simple, she quickened and class told in the end. Obviously she won her maiden around here.“She mightn’t be finished for the year. If she came out of it well we could look at the mile race in France next weekend for her.
O’Brien and Lordan were earlier on the mark with Minnie Tauk in the opening fillies’ contest and Serious Contender in the mile maiden for colts and geldings, but missed out with Takemetothemoon in the seven-furlong fillies’ maiden. She fairly flew home at the end of this Group Three affair, though, challenging down the nearside rail and proving a shade too strong for Trinity College, with favourite Thrice out of the frame after running around a bit in the straight.“She’s as tough as nails, she’s progressive and she’s never run a bad race. I’m delighted to win a big pot and a Group race for a big ownership group, a lot of them are here today.
When asked if she could line up in a Classic trial next year, he added: “Absolutely, that would be a logical thing to do. We’ll see how she pulls up and take it from there.”‘Something that we’ve never seen before’ - Aidan O’Brien hails Kyprios after stunning Ascot win
