Freshman Sire Recorder Off The Mark at Lyon-Parilly

By

Montfort et Preaux sire Recorder (GB) (Galileo {Ire}) became the latest European freshman off the mark when Finn Blichfeldt's 21-10 favourite Hot Queen (Fr) shed maiden status with an all-the-way win in Monday's Prix des Iris over 1350 metres at Lyon-Parilly.

1st-Lyon-Parilly, €18,000, Cond, 6-28, 2yo, 6 3/4fT, 1:26.21, sf.
HOT QUEEN (FR) (f, 2, Recorder {GB}–Hot Fudge {Swe} {Ch. Grass Mare-Sca, Ch. Older Mare-Sca & SP-Nor}, by Lomitas {GB}) hit the board in her two latest starts, including a June 8 last-out second over six furlongs at Saint-Cloud, and made a sharp getaway to establish a clear lead by halfway in this fourth outing. Allowed an inch of rein passing the quarter-mile marker, the 21-10 favourite came under increased pressure for a period and kept on strongly in the closing stages to easily hold Alromy (Fr) (Al Wukair {Ire}) by a geared-down three lengths, becoming the first winner for her freshman sire (by Galileo {Ire}). She is the latest of eight foals and fifth scorer produced by the stakes-placed dual Scandinavian champion distaffer Hot Fudge (Swe) (Lomitas {GB}). The March-foaled chestnut hails from a family featuring G1 Dubai Duty Free-winning sire Right Approach (GB) (Machiavellian), dual Classic heroine Highclere (GB) (Queen's Hussar {GB}) and the latter's MGSW daughter and blue hen Height of Fashion (Fr) (Bustino {GB}). Lifetime Record: 4-1-1-1, €19,800. Video, sponsored by TVG.
