New 2YO Stakes-winner for Churchill

Tara Madgwick - Thursday September 8

Promising young Galileo son Churchill (IRE) has settled back into Australia for his fifth season at Coolmore and featured overnight with a new stakes-winner in France when Blue Rose Cen took out the Group III Prix d’Aumale (1600m) at Longchamp.

A talented two year-old filly prepared by Christopher Head, she strode clear to win by a length and a half taking her overall record to three wins and a second to five starts.

“She is so tough and genuine and has never let us down,” said Christopher Head.

“She was beaten by a good horse (Victoria Road (2cSaxon Warrior) last time and was facing only fillies this time, so we were hopeful.

“Aurelien [Lemaitre] gave her the perfect ride, she handled the softer ground very well and she now deserves to take her chance in the [G1 Prix] Marcel Boussac. She takes her racing so well that I have no doubt that she will be ready on the day.”
