G1 Goal for New 2YO Starspangledbanner Stakes-Winner

Tara Madgwick - Monday July 31

The Group III Prix Six Perfections (1400m) at Deauville overnight produced an exciting new stakes-winner for Starspangledbanner when two year-old filly Laulne nabbed her first Black Type win.

Chasing her third win on the trot following a debut third back in May, the Yann Barberot trained filly was strong to the line for Alexis Pouchin holding off Calyx filly Classic Flower to win by half a length.

“We were hopeful beforehand, as the filly had strengthened and gained experience from her three previous starts,” Yann Barberot  said.

“We are at home here and she had trained well for that on this same course. She is obviously good, but she also showed there that she is a fighter. We will try not to squeeze the lemon dry and save something for the good races later on like the [G1 Prix Marcel] Boussac. Why not? She may or may not run in three weeks' time here in the [G2 Prix du] Calvados.”

Retained to race by her breeder Gerard Augustin-Normand, Laulne is a half-sister to imported Australian stakes-winner Bartholomew Dias from stakes-placed Montjeu mare Lady Francesca, a half-sister to Group III winner Purr Along and stakes-winner Katawi.

Starspangledbanner stands at a fee of $33,000, click for a Hypo mating.

Laulne is the 33rd stakes-winner for Starsoangledbanner, who returns to Coolmore Australia this spring at a fee of $33,000.
