She was beaten by the Aidan O’Brien trained Hydrangea, a winner of the Group 1 Matron Stakes a month earlier at Leopardstown, while Group 1 winners Journey and Left Hand finished behind her.
I.T.C. – International Thoroughbred Consultants, the commercial arm of the Haras de Gouffern & de La Genevraye, had purchased Bateel’s dam Attractive Crown for Al Asayl at the November sales in Keeneland.
Congratulations to her breeder and owner Al Asayl, to her trainer Francis-Henri Graffard and her jockey Pierre-Charles Boudot![/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space empty_h=”0″][vc_separator sep_color=”color-188923″][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner column_width_percent=”100″ align_horizontal=”align_center” gutter_size=”3″ overlay_alpha=”50″ medium_width=”0″ mobile_width=”0″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ width=”1/1″][vc_custom_heading heading_semantic=”h4″ text_size=”h4″ separator=”yes” separator_color=”yes”]More info[/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text]Full details on Bateel – Racing Post[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_separator sep_color=”color-188923″][/vc_column][vc_column column_width_percent=”100″ align_horizontal=”align_center” overlay_alpha=”50″ gutter_size=”2″ medium_width=”0″ mobile_width=”0″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ width=”1/2″][vc_single_image media=”53178″ media_width_percent=”100″][vc_single_image media=”53176″ media_width_percent=”100″][vc_single_image media=”53180″ media_width_percent=”100″][/vc_column][/vc_row]
