Lady Bamford's homebred 2023 G1 Oaks heroine Soul Sister (Ire) (Frankel (GB)}) has been supplemented for €15,000 to Friday's G1 Grand Prix de Paris at ParisLongchamp. The John and Thady Gosden trainee will be ridden by Kieran Shoemark, who fills in for the suspended Frankie Dettori.
It will be Shoemark's first ride aboard the Classic-winning filly, who has won three of her four starts. A winner at Doncaster at two, Soul Sister was unplaced in the G3 Fred Darling S. in her sophomore bow but recovered to take the G3 Musidora S. at York prior to her Epsom heroics.
Thady Gosden said, “Obviously it is the last mile-and-a-half 3-year-old race in Europe and unlike the Irish Oaks, it gives you time to come back for the [G1] Nassau at Goodwood [on Aug. 3].
“The Irish Oaks is a little too close to Goodwood if you wanted to take in both races, and we are looking forward to running her at Longchamp.
“Kieran partnered her on the Rowley Mile last week and was happy with her and she has done some routine work subsequently.”
At the latest entry stage, she will be opposed by the G1 Irish Derby second and fourth Adelaide River (Ire) (Australia {GB}) and Peking Opera (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) from the Aidan O'Brien yard, as well as Andre Fabre's First Minister (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) among others.
