Charlie Appleby trainee Arabian Crown (Fr) (Dubawi {Ire}–Dubai Rose {GB}, by Dubai Destination), a €600,000 Arqana August purchase, provided Godolphin with a third straight win in Salisbury's Listed Stonehenge S. when last seen and duly obliged in Saturday's G3 Ghaiyyath Zetland S. at Newmarket to become the operation's third straight winner of the 10-furlong contest.
The 10-11 favourite, who backed up a debut third at Sandown with a breakthrough score back there in July, was the sharpest of four into stride and seized an immediate lead. Turning the screw in effortless fashion inside the final half-mile, he was beyond recall passing the quarter-mile marker and raced in splendid isolation thereafter before gearing down nearing the line to easily account for Gaspar De Lemos (Ire) (Justify) by an untroubled 5 1/2 lengths.
Pedigree Notes
Arabian Crown, the latest of nine foals, is one of seven scorers produced by Listed Kolner Stuten-Trophy victrix Dubai Rose (GB) (Dubai Destination), herself a half-sister to G2 Pretty Polly S. victrix Hanami (GB) (Hernando {Fr}) and Listed Grosser Dresdner Sachsischer Herbst Preis winner Soho Rose (Ire) (Hernando {Fr}). Soho Rose, in turn, is the dam of G1 Prix de Royallieu heroine Sea La Rosa (Ire) (Sea The Stars {Ire}), G2 Great Voltigeur S. and G3 Bahrain Trophy victor Deauville Legend (Ire) (Sea The Stars {Ire}) and the Group 3-placed Dean Street Doll (Ire) (Oasis Dream {GB}). The February-foaled bay is a full-brother to the stakes-winning Everest Rose (GB) and a half to MGSW G1 Prix Vermeille third The Juliet Rose (Fr) (Monsun {Ger}) and the dual stakes-placed Pocketfullofdreams (Fr) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}).
