Redoute's Choice's Enbihaar Toughs It Out in Park Hill Stakes

Mark Smith - Friday September 13

Powerfully built Redoute's Choice mare Enbihaar took her seasonal tally to four wins from five starts when grinding out a short-head success over the three-year-old Galileo filly Delphinia in Thursday's Group II Park Hill Stakes (1m6½f) at Doncaster.

Ridden by Jim Crowley for trainer John Gosden, Enbihaar conceded the runner-up 13lb and needed to call on all her courage to add a third consecutive Group II following victories in the Lancashire Oaks at Haydock and the Lillie Langtry Stakes at Goodwood. (image Sporting Life)

"She was always doing enough when in front and it was a good performance again giving away lumps of weight," Crowley told Sporting Life. "She's actually slipped on the bend turning in and it took a while to get her confidence back.

"She's a big unit and it's probably taken to the back end of this season for her to strengthen and fill her frame. She's got a massive stride on her, she doesn't do a lot quickly but she really lengthens."

The daughter of Redoute's Choice will try for a Group 1 next, in either the Qipco British Champions Fillies & Mares Stakes or the Qatar Prix de Royallieu at Longchamp over Arc weekend.

Richard Hills, assistant racing manager to owner Sheikh Hamdan, said: "We've got Ascot as an option and then we've got Longchamp and we'll discuss [it] once everyone returns (from the Keeneland Sales). It's great that we kept her in training and she has really repaid us. She's a lovely filly with a beautiful action who has done nothing but improve it."

Bred by Haras Du Mezeray, Enbihaar was a €500,000 purchase at the 2016 Arqana August Yearling Sale.

A half-sister to the stakes-placed Silent Attack (Dream Ahead) and King Bolete (Cape Cross), Enbihaar is out of Chanterelle (Trempolino) a sister to multiple Group III winner Cox Orange (the dam of Group 1 One Thousand Guineas third Vista Bella) and a half-sister to Group 1 Prix Marcel Boussac winner Amonita (Anabaa).
