Earning TDN Rising Star status on debut over an extended mile at Leicester Sept. 6, Coronet justified that tag and favouritism with another taking performance to further enhance her reputation here. Settled towards the rear of mid-division early, the grey made stealthy progress to gain a narrow lead with 150 yards remaining and edge ahead of her stablemate Cunco and Permian to set a new juvenile course record. Out of the Listed Lord Weinstock Memorial S. winner Approach, who was second in the GII Galaxy S. and G3 May Hill S., Coronet is therefore a half-sister to the G1 Irish Derby and G1 St Leger runner-up and Irish highweight Midas Touch, who later placed in the G1 Underwood S. in Australia, as well as the G3 Ballyroan S. third Streetcar to Stars (GB) (Sea the Stars {Ire}). Her second dam is G2 Nassau S. and G2 Sun Chariot S. winner and G1 Coronation S. runner-up Last Second, who also produced the G1 Poule d'Essai des Poulains and GI Shadwell Turf S.-winning sire Aussie Rules. This Kirsten Rausing dynasty features the top-level scorers Allegretto (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), Alborada (GB) (Alzao), Albanova (GB) (Alzao), Yesterday (Ire) (Sadler's Wells) and Quarter Moon (Ire) (Sadler's Wells). Approach has a yearling colt by New Approach (Ire) named Photographer (GB) and a filly foal by Australia (GB) to follow.
