Galileo’s Free Wind Stretches Clear In the Park Hill

George Strawbridge's 325,000gns Tattersalls October Book 1 acquisition Free Wind (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) was the stylish winner of Deauville's G3 Prix Minerve last month and simply outclassed overmatched rivals with a seven-length rout in Thursday's G2 Hippo Pro3 Park Hill Fillies' S. over the full G1 St Leger trip. The upwardly mobile sophomore had encountered the reopposing Golden Pass (GB) (Golden Horn {GB}) when a 3/4-of-a-length runner-up to that rival in July's Listed Aphrodite Fillies' S. at Newmarket in her penultimate start and exacted revenge in style. The well-backed 15-8 favourite was swiftly into stride, but immediately reined back by Frankie Dettori to stalk the leaders under a firm hold in third. Looming large on the bridle in the straight to lead with a quarter mile remaining, she surged clear approaching the final furlong and was in splendid isolation in the closing stages, hitting the line with daylight to spare from Golden Pass. Juddmonte's Yesyes (GB) (Camelot {GB}) was best of the remainder and finished 1 1/2 lengths back in third.

Frankel’s Inspiral Powers To May Hill Triumph

Cheveley Park Stud's undefeated 2-year-old filly Inspiral (GB) (Frankel {GB}) lit up Sandown with an impressive 3 1/2-length tally in going seven furlongs in July's Listed Star S. and took her record to a perfect three-for-three with another taking display upped to one mile for Thursday's G2 Cazoo Park Hill S. at Doncaster. The homebred bay had previously overcome a slow start to open her account with a 1 1/2-length score in a June 26 seven-furlong maiden at Newmarket and remains on course to return there for the Oct. 8 G1 Fillies' Mile, a double last achieved by Laurens (Fr) (Siyouni {Fr}) in 2017. Inspiral went postward as the heavily-favoured 2-9 pick and bowled along under cover in fifth through halfway of a contest won in the past by breed-bending distaffers Height of Fashion (Fr) (Bustino {GB}) and Rafha (GB) (Kris {GB}). Angled into the clear soon after passing the three-furlong marker, she powered to the front approaching the eighth pole and lengthened clear in the closing stages to easily account for the pacesetting Prosperous Voyage (Ire) (Zoffany {Ire}) by 3 3/4 lengths. Rolling The Dice (Ire) (Mehmas {Ire}) finished 1 3/4 lengths adrift in third while the forecast rain didn't arrive in time for Kirsten Rausing's homebred Haydock maiden winner Kawida (GB) (Sir Percy {GB}), who was scratched.

Reach For The Moon Camp Eyes Champagne

Progressive colt Reach For The Moon (GB) (Sea The Stars {Ire}) is a likely starter in the G2 Champagne S. at Doncaster on Sept. 11. The John and Thady Gosden-trained colt, who carries The Queen's silks, was a last out winner of the G3 Betway Solario S. at Sandown on Aug. 21.

“Reach For The Moon is in really good form,” said The Queen's Racing Manager John Warren after Reach For The Moon's stablemate Saga (GB) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}) won at Ascot on Friday. “He had a good blow yesterday [Thursday] and I think we're all just getting our heads around his next start.

“He's got an entry in the Champagne S. next week, so I think we'll be looking strongly at that to see whether or not that's where he ought to go next. He's a horse that needs keeping on top of himself as he's full of himself.”

Second in his first two starts, including the Listed Chesham S. behind top G1 Derby contender Point Lonsdale (Ire) (Australia {GB}), Reach For The Moon drew off by four lengths to win a novice stakes over seven furlongs on July 16. The colt is second choice for next spring's Derby at this stage.

Warren added, “I think John and Thady and Frankie [Dettori] think it wouldn't do him any harm to come out again and get a bit streetwise if he's going to be a Group 1 horse–the more education going into Group 1s the better. There's a strong possibility that we'll take a good, hard look at the Champagne.”

Solario Success For Sea The Stars’ Reach For The Moon

The Queen has a serious Classic candidate for 2022 judged on the manner of the win of her homebred Reach For the Moon (GB) (Sea the Stars {Ire}) in Saturday's G3 Betway Solario S. at Sandown. Runner-up to TDN Rising Star Point Lonsdale (Ire) (Australia {GB}) in the Listed Chesham S. over this seven-furlong trip June 19, the bay had since beaten the subsequent York nursery winner Harrow (Ire) (El Kabeir) by four lengths in a Newbury novice July 16 and it was all about him as he started as the 2-5 favourite. Settled in a perfect rhythm on the outside by Frankie Dettori tracking the leading duo, he travelled smoothly to the front passing the two-furlong pole and stayed straight and true on his own to dominate from there. At the line, there was a four-length margin to the Chesham third Great Max (Ire) (Wootton Bassett {GB}), who held on to second by a short head from Rerouting (Ire) (El Kabeir). “He was quite babyish at the beginning of his career–quite coltish and not concentrating, but with racing he is getting better and better,” Dettori said. “Today he stopped his antics and was focusing better. He has got a good size, a wonderful stride and he has got gears. He is a very exciting prospect.”

John Gosden is generally a fan of Sandown and it was no surprise that he was able to equal Sir Henry Cecil's record of six successes in this prize which he had used as a launchpad for the future celebrities Raven's Pass, Kingman (GB) and Too Darn Hot (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}). Whether Reach For the Moon will get to those heights remains to be seen, but his trainer is more than satisfied with his progress so far. “They didn't go much pace, so Frankie thought he would get on with it. He didn't think he would go to the front that fast and go that far clear,” he commented. “He did well, as he has learned a lot running up the Sandown hill on his own but he has showed a bit of class I thought. You have got to look towards the autumn and we would like to wind up in one of those nice group 1s, so we will see how he is over the next few days and make our decision. He is lively, but nothing more than that–he doesn't pull. He is very progressive and has done everything right. He has developed and strengthened.”

Reach For the Moon's dam Golden Stream (Ire) (Sadler's Wells) defied her staying pedigree by exhibiting genuine pace by winning the Listed Eternal S. and Listed October S. and finishing runner-up in the G3 Chartwell Fillies' S. and G3 Oak Tree S. over seven furlongs. Her son Mainstream (GB) (Dansili {GB}) was runner-up over that trip in the G1 Winx S. behind the legendary mare after which the race was named when racing in Australia as Invictus Prince, while his full-sister Thames Pageant {GB}) is in turn the dam of this year's Listed Prix de la Vallee d'Auge winner and G2 Queen Mary S. runner-up Twilight Gleaming (Ire) (National Defense {GB}). Golden Stream, who is out of the triple group-winning G2 Ribblesdale S. winner Phantom Gold (GB) (Machiavellian), is a full-sister to the possibly unlucky G1 Epsom Oaks runner-up Flight of Fancy (GB) who in turn produced the dual G3 Winter Hill S. scorer Fabricate (GB) (Makfi {GB}). Her yearling filly is by Dubawi (Ire), while she also has a colt foal by Siyouni (Fr).
