Hello You Earns Breeders’ Cup Berth In Rockfel Stakes

Amo Racing Limited's Hello You (IRE) announced herself as one of the best 2-year-old fillies in Europe, as she quickened clear in Friday's Unibet Rockfel Stakes (G2) at Newmarket's Rowley Mile course. Her 1 ½-length success secures a guaranteed start into the US$1 million Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf (G1) as part of the Breeders' Cup Challenge Series.

The Breeders' Cup Challenge Series is an international series of stakes races whose winners receive automatic starting positions and fees paid into a corresponding race of the Breeders' Cup World Championships, which will be held at Del Mar racetrack in Del Mar, California, on Nov. 5-6.

Hello You, a bay daughter of Invincible Spirit (IRE) out of the Pivotal (GB) mare Lucrece (GB), won impressively on her debut at Wolverhampton back in May but had been unable to get her head in front in four efforts since. Ridden by her regular partner Rossa Ryan, Hello You sat just off the pace set by the George Boughey-trained pair Oscula (IRE) and Cachet (IRE) before accelerating past them both to give young trainer David Loughnane a second Group 2 success of the season, after Go Bears Go (IRE) claimed the GAIN Railway Stakes (G2) at The Curragh in June.

Hello You moved yards from Ralph Beckett to Loughnane at the start of August and her new trainer acknowledged Beckett's work with the filly.

Loughnane said: “She's strengthened up loads over the last month. She arrived with us from Mr. Beckett's in great order, and we're very privileged and lucky to have a horse of her caliber in the yard. I think she'd go on any ground. I said beforehand that she's a Group horse and deserved a Group win beside her name – and I'm delighted she's proved herself today. The Amo team have thought a lot of her from day one. She was very impressive on debut, and you couldn't knock what she did at Royal Ascot.”

When asked about Hello You's future plans, Loughnane declared that connections have their sights set on a trip to the Breeders' Cup.

“I know Kia (Joorabchian) is very keen to potentially have a crack at the Breeders' Cup (Juvenile Fillies Turf) in Del Mar in November. We've always felt she'll be better over 1-mile and she's just outstayed them today over the 7 furlongs.”

Newmarket trainer George Boughey has enjoyed a fantastic season, and he saddled both Cachet and Oscula to finish 2nd and 3rd respectively.

Hello You (7/1) finished the 7-furlongs in 1:23:12, defeating eight rivals over a course listed as good-to-firm.

As part of the benefits of the Challenge Series, the Breeders' Cup will pay the entry fees for Hello You to start in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf, which will be run at 1-mile over the Del Mar turf course. Breeders' Cup will also provide a travel allowance of US$40,000 for all starters based outside of North America to compete in the World Championships. The Challenge winner must be nominated to the Breeders' Cup program by the Championships' pre-entry deadline of Oct. 25 to receive the rewards.

Frankel Filly Majestic Glory Chasing Breeders’ Cup Berth In Friday’s Rockfel Stakes

Mrs. Doreen Tabor's Majestic Glory (GB) will bid to complete a hat-trick of wins in Friday's Unibet Rockfel Stakes (G2) for 2-year-old fillies run on Newmarket's Rowley Mile course. The daughter of Frankel (GB) faces nine rivals in the 7-furlong contest, which offers a guaranteed fees-paid berth into the US$1 million Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf (G1) as part of the Breeders' Cup Challenge Series.

The Andrew Balding-trained Majestic Glory won at her third attempt in a Novice Stakes at Newmarket's July course and followed up with a win in the RacingTV Profits Back To Racing Sweet Solera Stakes (G3) last month, defeating subsequent Group 1 winner Wild Beauty (GB) into second. Ryan Moore will be on board the filly for the first time on Friday.

Newmarket trainer George Boughey runs two in the race, Oscula (IRE) and Cachet (IRE), with the latter finishing a disappointing seventh, after missing the break, in the Prix d'Aumale (Group 3) at ParisLongchamp in her last start.

Boughey said: “Cachet was unlucky in France, she was slow out of the gate, which she has been the last twice. I think you'll see a different Cachet on Friday. She looks great now.”

Meanwhile, Oscula will be having her eighth start of the season. The daughter of Galileo Gold (GB) won the Prix Six Perfections Sky Sports Racing (G3) at Deauville in August, before finishing third as the 7-5 favorite in the Prix Du Calvados (G2) at the same track last time.

Boughey said: “I think she'll run a massive race. I think she's up to this level. She's got to handle Newmarket, she wouldn't have done a huge amount of work on the track, unlike most of mine, so that's a little bit new to her. Her style of racing should suit it.”

The Ralph Beckett-trained Girl On Film (FR) was an impressive maiden winner on Newmarket's July course in her Aug. 7 debut for owners John and Tanya Gunther. A daughter of Dabirsim (FR), Girl On Film will be ridden by Frankie Dettori.

Also putting an unbeaten record on the line is the Roger Charlton-trained Jumbly (GB), who made it two wins from two starts with a comfortable success on Kempton's All-Weather track on Sept. 3.

Romantic Time (GB) has won three of her last four starts, most recently the Ire Incentive Scheme Dick Poole Fillies' Stakes (G3) at Salisbury, over 6 furlongs. Marco Ghiani, currently leading the Apprentice Jockeys' Championship, takes the ride.

Hello You (IRE), Sunstrike (IRE), Kawida (GB) and Femme Friendly (GB) complete the field.

As part of the benefits of the Challenge Series, the Breeders' Cup will pay the entry fees for the winner of the Unibet Rockfel Stakes to start in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf, which will be run at 1-mile over the Del Mar turf course. Breeders' Cup will also provide a travel allowance of US$40,000 for all starters based outside of North America to compete in the World Championships. The Challenge winner must be nominated to the Breeders' Cup program by the Championships' pre-entry deadline of Oct. 25 to receive the rewards.

Wild Beauty Overcomes Slow Start To Take Natalma, Earn BC Juvenile Fillies Turf Berth

With the legendary Lanfranco Dettori in the saddle, Wild Beauty made her first North American start a winning one, overcoming a slow start and going five-wide down the Woodbine stretch to win the Grade 1 Natalma at the Toronto, Ontario track and earn a guaranteed spot in the starting gate for the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Filly Turf at Del Mar.

The Godolphin filly went into the gate as the post-time favorite, breaking from the middle of the field of 10. She appeared to hit the gate and then was buffeted by horses, running last into the first turn. From there, Dettori kept her on the outside toward the back of the field while Cardio Princess and Guileful led the field. Down the backstretch, Wild Beauty steadily passed horses up to seventh as they entered the far turn.

On the turn, Dettori kept Wild Beauty to the outside, taking her five-wide to find running room as they entered the stretch. With daylight in front of her, the 2-year-old filly had no trouble taking over the lead and pulling away to a 2 3/4-length victory. Bobby Flay's Pizza Bianca was second and Eminent Victor was third.

Mrs. Barbara, Diabolic, Guileful, Ready Lady, Baksheesh, Royal Engagement, and Cardio Princess rounded out the order of finish.

The final time for the one-mile Natalma was 1:35.08. Find this race's chart here.

Wild Beauty paid $4.90, $3.10, and $2.40. Pizza Bianca paid $4.30 and $3.50. Eminent Victor paid $4.20.

The G1 Natalma is a part of the Breeders' Cup Challenge Series. As a Win and You're In race, the winner earns a fees-paid guaranteed spot in the starting gate for the corresponding race at the Breeders' Cup World Championships Nov. 5-6 at Del Mar Thoroughbred Club in Del Mar, Calif.

Bred and owned by Godolphin, Wild Beauty (GB) is by Frankel (GB) out of the Pivotal mare Tulips (IRE). Trained by Chalie Appleby, the filly's win in the Natalma brings her to three wins in six starts for career earnings of $230,477.

Romantic Proposal Upsets Flying Five At The Curragh, Earns BC Turf Sprint Berth

The Clipper Logistics Group-owned 5-year-old mare Romantic Proposal (IRE) ran out a surprise winner of the Group 1 Derrinstown Stud Flying Five Stakes at The Curragh in County Kildare, Ireland, and earned an automatic berth into the $1 million Grade 1 Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint through the Breeders' Cup Challenge Series.

In the second “Win and You're In” race on the card, the Jessica Harrington-trained Discoveries (IRE) secured an automatic entry into the Grade 1 Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf with a victory in the Group 1 Moyglare Stud Stakes, over 7 furlongs.

The Eddie Lynam-trained Romantic Proposal (IRE) was sent off a 16-1 outsider for the G1 Derrinstown Stud Flying Five Stakes, having finished third in the Group 2 Paddy Power Sapphire Stakes over course and distance on her most recent start.

Ridden by Chris Hayes, Romantic Proposal (IRE) came with a strong late run to beat the Ado McGuinness-trained A Case Of You (IRE) by a half-length into second, with last year's winner and reigning Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint champion Glass Slippers (GB) in third, losing the place spot in the final yards. Dragon Symbol (GB), the 5-2 favorite, finished fourth.

Winning trainer Lynam, who enjoyed Group 1 success with top sprinters Sole Power (GB) and Slade Power (IRE) said: “She'd been progressive. We ran her over a mile first time out and she was placed, then we dropped her back to seven furlongs and she's just kept improving. I always believed the filly was capable of running a big race and she's done everything great. I think it's six years since I've had a Group 1 winner and it's nice to have another one.”

A daughter of Grade 1 Breeders' Cup Classic winner Raven's Pass (USA) out of the Diktat (GB) mare Playwithmyheart (GB), Romantic Proposal (IRE) completed the 5 furlongs in a time of :59.77 on a course rated as good.

Discoveries Delivers in Moyglare Stud Stakes

Niarchos Family's 2-year-old filly Discoveries (IRE) stormed to success in the Group 1 Moyglare Stud Stakes to gain an automatic entry for the $1 million Grade 1 Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf.

Trained by Jessica Harrington and ridden by Shane Foley, who teamed up to win the Group 1 Coolmore America “Justify” Matron Stakes at Leopardstown on Saturday, Discoveries (IRE) was third behind Agartha (IRE) and Sunset Shiraz (IRE) in the Group 2 Alpha Centauri Debutante Stakes in her last start. The same three fillies fought out the finish today, with Discoveries (IRE) staying on best of all to win by three-quarters of a length, with Agartha coming in second and Sunset Shiraz finishing third. A daughter of Mastercraftsman (IRE) out of the Rahy (USA) mare Alpha Lupi (IRE), Discoveries (IRE) completed the contest in 1:27.10.

Winning trainer Harrington said: “This filly was green first time she ran and then she won her maiden. We hoped she'd win the Alpha Centauri Debutante, but the ground came up soft that day and she goes on top of the ground.”

A full sister to Group 1-winning miler Alpha Centauri (IRE) and a half-sister to Group 1 winning-miler Alpine Star (IRE), Discoveries (IRE) will step up to that distance according to her trainer, though no immediate targets have been decided. Harrington said, “We think she'll improve again, but today is the day. She'll get a mile no doubt.”

As part of the benefits of the Challenge Series, Breeders' Cup will pay the entry fees for both Romantic Proposal and Discoveries to start at Del Mar. Breeders' Cup will also provide a travel allowance of $40,000 for all starters based outside of North America to compete in the World Championships.
