Under The Stars Primed For The 1000 Guineas

Under The Stars (Ire) (Night of Thunder {Ire}) is one of 15 fillies lining up for the 1000 Guineas at Newmarket on Sunday. Her trainer, James Tate, speaks to TDN's Alayna Cullen about her preparation.

Tate provided an update on GSW Under The Stars who will take her chances at a mile in her stride when she gets her chance in the G1 QIPCO 1000 Guineas. The Newmarket handler reports Under The Stars to be in top form and to have strengthened up over the winter. With her sire-2014 Guineas winner Night Of Thunder-and dam Jumeirah Palm Star (GB) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}) both victorious over a mile, Tate believes the Saeed Manana-owned filly is well equipped to see out the new trip.

Having claimed Group 3 glory in the Princess Margaret S. at Ascot on her second start, Under The Stars followed up with creditable runs in defeat at Group 1 and 2 level before ending last season on a winning note in a sales race at Newmarket.
