Golden Horn’s Haskoy Leads Home Juddmonte Exacta In The Galtres

Successful in a July 29 extended 12-furlong Wolverhampton novice event in her only prior start, Juddmonte's homebred 3-year-old filly Haskoy (GB) (Golden Horn {GB}–Natavia {GB} {SW-Eng}, by Nathaniel {Ire}) stepped forward to claim a career high on black-type bow in Thursday's Listed British EBF & Sir Henry Cecil Galtres S. at York. The January-foaled bay was positioned at the tail of the field after breaking from an outer gate. Bustled along with a half mile to go, the 13-2 chance made relentless headway racing in isolation on the far side inside the final quarter mile and stayed on in resolute fashion under a Ryan Moore drive to deny Time Lock (GB) (Frankel {GB}), another Juddmonte homebred representative, by a neck in the dying strides.

“That was magic and they are two good fillies,” commented Juddmonte's Barry Mahon. “The winner has always been good, but she had a bad injury last year. Ralph [Beckett] has liked her since he got her, but we didn't think she'd know enough today. Ryan [Moore] said the penny only dropped in the final furlong and William [Buick aboard Time Lock] said his filly didn't see the other one as she had more to give. Neither of them would be troubled by going further, but they've no fancy entries.”

Beckett added, “I'm not sure I've ever had one win a black-type race just 20 days after making its debut. I'm sure I might have as I've trained enough of this type, but I can't think of one. I thought she was very professional and we might have a look at the [G2] Park Hill at Doncaster now.”

Haskoy is the first of three foals produced by Listed Haras de Bouquetot Fillies' Trial victrix Natavia (GB) (Nathaniel {Ire}), herself kin to G1 Sun Chariot S. heroine Spinning Queen (GB) (Spinning World). Spinning Queen, in turn, is the dam of the stakes-winning duo Trade Commissioner (Ire) (Montjeu {Ire}) and Gallipot (GB) (Galileo {Ire}). Another of Natavia's siblings, Amber Queen (Ire) (Cadeaux Genereux {GB}), produced GIII Jimmy Durante S. victrix Tezzaray (GB) (Bated Breath {GB}) while the winner's third dam Lady Blackfoot (Ire) (Prince Tenderfoot) is responsible for three Grade I performers headed by GI Hollywood Derby-winning sire Labeeb (GB) (Lear Fan). Natavia has a yearling filly by Kingman (GB) and a weanling filly by Siyouni (Fr) to come.
