G1 QIPCO 1000 Guineas winner Cachet (Ire) (Aclaim {Ire}) is pleasing Highclere Racing's Managing Director Harry Herbert in advance of the G1 Coronation S. at Royal Ascot. The 'TDN Rising Star' is poised to face the electric G1 Tattersalls Irish 1000 Guineas victress Homeless Songs (Ire) (Frankel {GB}) in the race. After taking the G3 Lanwades Stud Nell Gwyn S. last month, she ran out a neck winner in the Guineas and was second by a head to Mangoustine (Fr) (Dark Angel {Ire}) in the G1 Emirates Poule d'Essai des Pouliches at ParisLongchamp on May 15.
“The winner of the Irish Guineas was mightily impressive–seriously, seriously good,” said Herbert. “We'll have our work cut out in the Coronation, but Cachet has had the most wonderful season so far, she's very tough and has bounced out of France as well as she's bounced out of any of her races.
“George couldn't be happier with her. She cantered back for the first time this morning after a nice little break and looks terrific. What a dream filly she is and all roads lead to the Coronation at this stage.”
