PREVIEW & TRIFECTA - Daughter of Bated Breath Hopes To Claim Rockfel Stakes 2017
Roger Charlton's unbeaten daughter of Bated Breath,
Gavota is the one to beat in the Rockfel Stakes. And Nyaleti will attempt to do exactly that, after disappointing in the Prix Morny at Deauville. "In hindsight I probably just pressed the button a little bit early.” said James Doyle, "coming back a furlong will definitely suit her”. Another unbeaten filly lining up is Ed Vaughan's Hikmaa, while John Gosden's
Juliet Capulet will have her followers.
The Rockfel Stakes is a Group 2 flat horse race in Great Britain open to two-year-old fillies. The event is named after Rockfel, a successful filly whose victories included two Classics in 1938. It was established in 1981, and its first winner was Top Hope. The leading horses from the Rockfel Stakes sometimes go on to compete in the following season's 1,000 Guineas. But more importantly, The winner of the Rockfel Stakes is invited to participate in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf.
Aidan O'Brien runs Butterscotch ridden by Ryan Moore and Lightening Quick hopes to flash across the racetrack like lightning under Oisin Murphy.
Capomento, Club Tropicana, Elizabeth Bennet and Roulette complete the field.
