First Stakes Win for Royally Bred Fastnet

Tara Madgwick - Thursday August 17
By champion sire Fastnet Rock from the family of Galileo, royally bred filly Alluringly gained her first Black Type success when winning the Listed Hurry Harriet Stakes at Gowran Park in Ireland overnight.

Third to superstar filly Enable in the Group I Epsom Oaks, the Aidan O'Brien trained Alluringly has been below her best in two runs since, but bounced back to win this nine and a half furlong contest by a neck with Seamie Heffernan in the saddle.

"She was the classiest filly in the race but her last two runs have been a little bit disappointing. I always felt I was going to get there. I was happy enough to come on the wide outside and get a clear run. We haven't seen the best of her yet and she is looking like she is getting back to herself. She is a bit more than what we have seen so far from her," said Seamie Heffernan.

Alluringly has two wins and two placings from eight starts and is the 121ststakes-winner for Fastnet Rock, who looked in great order at the Coolmore media day earlier this week.

Fastnet Rock sporting some impressive dapples and ready for spring!Now 16, Fastnet Rock has packed a lot into his life to date and has been shuttling regularly to Ireland since 2010 achieving outstanding success.

Fastnet Rock has sired 28 Northern Hemisphere bred stakes-winners headed by six Group I winners, impressive stuff!

Alluringly is the best of two winners from unraced All for Glory, who is by Giant's Causeway from the Group III winner All Too Beautiful, a full sister to champion racehorse and sire Galileo and daughter of Arc winner and blue hen Urban Sea.

The pedigree page is packed with Group I winners including champion racehorse and sire Sea the Stars, so Alluringly is a valuable filly indeed with a Black Type win on her resume.
