Introduced in the same seven-furlong Goodwood maiden on Thursday that Ballydoyle won with Rhododendron (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) in 2016, Dreamy (Ire) (American Pharoah–Tapestry {Ire}, by Galileo {Ire}) became the latest to fly the flag for the Rosegreen stable in a largely fruitful week. Bred by Flaxman Stables and Coolmore and carrying the famed colours of the Niarchos Family, the daughter of the G1 Yorkshire Oaks heroine qas quickly away from her high draw before being settled in fourth by Ryan Moore. Taking her time to build in the closing stages, the 5-2 favourite stayed on strongly to reel in Bouvier (Ire) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}) close home and prevail by a neck.
Michael Tabor said, “It is a learning curve and Ryan thought that she could be a little bit special. There is plenty of quality, he said, and she could be an Oaks filly for next year. That is the thinking at the moment.” Tapestry, a former TDN Rising Star who also captured the G2 Debutante Stakes and was second in the G1 Irish Oaks and G1 Moyglare Stud Stakes, is a daughter of the fellow Moyglare winner Rumplestiltskin (Ire) (Danehill) who was crowned European champion 2-year-old filly after adding the G1 Prix Marcel Boussac to her tally. Also responsible for Galileo's much-vaunted G3 Golden Fleece Stakes winner John F Kennedy (Ire), they descend from the great Miesque. Tapestry, whose first foal was the G3 Amethyst Stakes third New World Tapestry (War Front), also has a filly by Dubawi (Ire).
