MGSW Signora Cabello (Ire) (Camacho {GB}-Journalist {Ire}, by Night Shift), who was also second in the G1 Prix Morny, will visit Coolmore's Galileo (Ire) this spring, owner Phoenix Thoroughbreds announced on Wednesday. A winner of the G2 Queen Mary S. and G2 Prix Robert Papin, the former John Quinn trainee was retired in September with a mark of 11-4-1-0 and $310,977 in earnings.
“I think she'll make a very good broodmare,” said Quinn in September. “She's blessed with great speed, a great constitution and a will to win. She was very sound during her racing career; she has everything you need in a broodmare really. She's from a very good, fast family, so I'd be optimistic she'll breed a real good one.”
Bred by Diomed Bloodstock Ltd. and a 20,000gns Tattersalls October Yearling, Signora Cabello won the Listed Marygate Fillies' S. for original owner Zen Racing before Phoenix bought into the filly, with her first start for the joint partnership the Queen Mary at Royal Ascot. Phoenix purchased the now 4-year-old outright for 900,000gns at the Tattersalls December Mare Sale in 2018. Out of the G3 Princess Margaret S. bridesmaid Journalist, she is a half-sister to GSP La Presse (Gone West), MSP Emirates Girl (Unbridled's Song) and SP Plagiarism (Lonhro {Aus}).
Added Phoenix CEO Amer Abdulaziz, “Signora Cabello was a very special horse for us on the track and we are delighted she is now part of our broodmare band. She was an exceptionally talented sprinter, so deserves to be bred to a stallion like Galileo. On paper, the match looks good, so fingers crossed she'll produce a good foal.”
