Daughter of Wootton Bassett Goes Two-For-Two at Saint-Cloud

Christopher Head trainee Angeal (Ire) (Wootton Bassett {GB}–Curvy {GB}, by Galileo {Ire}), a €110,000 Goffs Orby daughter of GI E. P. Taylor Stakes victrix and G1 Irish Oaks third Curvy, continued on a winning roll and went two-for-two in Sunday's seven-furlong €34,000 Prix Amber Rama at Saint-Cloud.

1st-Saint-Cloud, €34,000, Cond, 6-30, 2yo, 7fT, 1:27.43, g/s.
ANGEAL (IRE) (f, 2, Wootton Bassett {GB}–Curvy {GB} {GISW-Can, GSW & G1SP-Ire, GSW-Eng, $555,392}, by Galileo {Ire}), who graduated over six furlongs here in her May 20 debut last time, broke sharply from the outside gate and accepted a tow in second after the initial strides of this return. Bustled along off the home turn, the 9-10 favourite was ridden to tackle long-time leader Imparable (Ire) (Lope De Vega {Ire}) with 300 metres remaining and kept on strongly under continued urging to assert by 1 1/2 lengths as that rival lost second to Supido (Fr) (Blue Point {Ire}) on the line. Angeal, a half-sister to GIII Cecil B DeMille Stakes runner-up Caisson (War Front) and a yearling filly by Siyouni (Fr), is the sixth of seven foals and one of three winners out of GI E. P. Taylor Stakes victrix and G1 Irish Oaks third Curvy (GB) (Galileo {Ire}). Curvy, herself kin to dual Group 1-winning sire Power (GB) (Oasis Dream {GB}), is a granddaughter of G3 Prestige Stakes-winning matriarch Glatisant (GB) (Rainbow Quest). Sales history: €110,000 Ylg '23 GOFORB. Lifetime Record: 2-2-0-0, €32,000. Video, sponsored by FanDuel TV.
