A fabulous performance by Masar in the Derby was a feather in the cap for New Approach after a quiet spell.
Prowess foaled a full sister to Talent by New Approach in May and we have sent Planete Bleue to New Approach this year although she is yet to test in foal.
On the track Queen of Connaught finished 5th in the Lingfield Derby trial which saw her rated 90 by the handicapper. Richard Hughes who is training Ambition hopes to have her start off in a 6 furlong race by the end of June. This will be relatively early for a filly by Dubawi with the dam an Oaks winner and St Leger 2nd. Lets see how she goes.
A home bred and owned filly Amhurst won a decent race at Toulouse trained by Xavier Thomas- Demeaulte who is in fabulous form at the moment training the 2nd in the Group 1 Prix du Jockey Club and a close up 4th in the Group 2 Prix Sandringham at Chantilly from his yard in Mont de Marsan in South West France.
After Matidia managed to get her head in front in a 1.5 mile handicap at Windsor off a mark of 66 she was raised 4lbs. She was sold at the Tattersalls sales today and made a respectable 20,000 Guineas. We wish her new owners lots of luck and success with her.
