Sea the Stars’s Fanny Logan Takes the Hardwicke

There was a surprise in Friday’s G2 Hardwicke S., as the 4-year-old filly Fanny Logan (Ire) (Sea the Stars {Ire}) rolled back the years as a Frankie Dettori-ridden Royal Ascot winner in Sheikh Mohammed’s vintage maroon-and-white silks. Runner-up in Haydock’s G3 Pinnacle S. over this mile-and-a-half trip last time June 7, last year’s G3 Darley Pride S. winner who campaigns under the Sheikha Al Jalila Racing banner was reserved in rear early off the honest tempo. Launched wide in the straight, the 17-2 shot struck the front approaching the furlong pole and stayed on strongly to beat Alounak (Fr) (Camelot {GB}) by 2 1/2 lengths, with 1 3/4 lengths back to Defoe (Ire) (Dalakhani {Ire}) in third.

Three Gold Cups For Magnificent Stradivarius

Soft ground? No worries. If anything, it only served to exaggerate the superiority of Stradivarius (Ire) (Sea the Stars {Ire}) as Bjorn Nielsen’s chestnut entered immortality with an emphatic third G1 Gold Cup at Royal Ascot. Joining Sagaro (GB) and now only one off Yeats (Ire) with his awe-inspiring tally, the 4-5 favourite tracked the pace in mid-division before Frankie said go coming out of the back straight. Checking behind more than he was looking forward heading to the home turn, Dettori allowed him to saunter to the leader Nayef Road (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) two out and open up for a 10-length victory to mark the occasion. It was another eight lengths back to Cross Counter (GB) (Teofilo {Ire}) in third.

Siyouni’s Eldama a New Rising Star At Leopardstown

A G1 Irish Oaks entry, His Highness The Aga Khan’s Eldama (Ire) (Siyouni {Fr}) produced a winning performance that marked her out as a touch special in Leopardstown’s opening Fillies Maiden for debutantes on Sunday. Always travelling notably strongly under Oisin Orr behind the leading duo, the 2-1 favourite struck the front with 1 1/2 furlongs remaining and readily asserted for a 1 3/4-length defeat of Bearberry (Ire) (Kodiac {GB}), with Amiko Chow (Ire) (Lope de Vega {Ire}) a half length back in third. The first winner of the season for Dermot Weld, the winner is from the family of the G1 Ascot Gold Cup winners Enzeli (Ire) (Kahyasi {Ire}) and Estimate (Ire) (Monsun {Ger}) and the past Irish Oaks heroine Ebadiyla (Ire) (Sadler’s Wells).
