Godolphin's undefeated champion 2-year-old filly Immersive (Nyquist), off since winning last year's GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies, tuned up for her seasonal debut in next Saturday's Monomoy Girl Overnight Stakes with a four-furlong work in :49.20 (23/53) at Churchill Downs Sunday. The filly returned to the work tab at Churchill Downs in early May after being sidelined with bone bruising. Leading into the Monomoy Girl, she has posted six published workouts, including her latest move Sunday morning. “We're looking forward to getting her started again,” trainer Brad Cox said. “She's doing well since coming back to the string at Churchill and looks just as good as she did as a 2-year-old.” Under Cox's exercise rider Joel Osorio, Immersive began her Sunday move with an opening quarter-mile in :25.40 and galloped out five furlongs in 1:01.80. In addition to her Breeders' Cup win, Immersive won last year's GI Spinaway Stakes and GI Darley Alcibiades Stakes. The 1 1/16-mile Monomoy Girl will be the fifth of 11 races at Churchill Downs Saturday. Jockey Manny Franco, who has been aboard for all four of her starts, has the call on Immersive and will break from post position two in the field of six.

1st-Saratoga, $90,000, (C), Msw, 6-8, 2yo, f, 5 1/2f, 1:05.25, ft, 4 lengths. ANGEL GIFT (f, 2, Connect–Georgie's Angel {GSW, $129,564}, by Bellamy Road), installed the 3-2 choice for this unveiling, settled off the fleet-footed favorite Gorrono Ranch (War of Will) and Nacho Problem (Waiting), who carved out an opening quarter mile in :22.44. With the top two still exchanging blows straightening for home, Angel Gift still had several lengths to make up but was picking up steam down the center of the track. Turning on the gas late, he blew by the pacesetter and drew clear to score by an eye-catching four lengths over the fast-closing Miss Magical (Good Magic). The winner is a half to MGISW Cave Rock (Arrogate), $748,000. GSW Georgie's Angel, who sold for $75,000 while carrying subsequent $1.05 million OBSMAR purchase Assurbanipal (Arrogate) at Keeneland November in 2020, is also responsible for an unraced 3-year-old filly by Improbable and a yearling filly by Flightline. She was most recently bred to Good Magic. Sales history: $300,000 Ylg '24 SARAUG. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $49,500. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by FanDuel TV.

The hitherto unbeaten Andreas Wohler trainee Lady Charlotte (Golden Horn) leapt to head of the ante-post betting market for August's G1 Preis der Diana (German Oaks) after producing a determined effort to prevail in Sunday's G3 Diana-Trial over 10 furlongs at Hoppegarten. She had previously registered two wins in Poland for former trainer Maciej Janikowski last term and annexed Hannover's Listed Preis der Neuen Bult in her German debut last month. The 11-5 second favourite settled off the pace with one behind in sixth after a slick getaway and eased into fifth after a half-mile had elapsed. Bustled along to reduce arrears at the top of the home straight, she went second entering the final furlong and quickened smartly under a late drive to deny last month's G2 Karin Baronin von Ullmann Schwarzgold-Rennen victrix Nicoreni (Brametot) by a neck in the dying strides. Fantastic Moon's half-sister Fire And Ice (Masar) fared best of the remainder and finished two lengths adrift in third. “She most definitely relished the [soft] going and the step up in trip,” said winning jockey Adrie de Vries. “On good going it might have been more difficult for us, but she really is a great filly and 2000 metres is the minimum trip for her. She only ever does as much as necessary and, as long as she keeps doing that, we can keep dreaming.” Pedigree Notes Lady Charlotte, who becomes the 11th pattern-race winner for her sire, is the third of five foals and one of two scorers out of a half-sister to G2 Blandford Stud Stakes victrix Monturani (Indian Ridge), dual stakes-winning G3 Prix de Seine-et-Oise runner-up Monnavanna (Machiavellian) and Listed Noel Murless Stakes victrix Mill Springs (Shirocco). Monturani is the second dam of dual Group 2-winning G3 Premio Parioli (Italian 2000 Guineas) hero Anda Muchacho (Helmet) and G3 Firth Of Clyde Stakes runner-up Parsley (Zebedee). The February-foaled bay's second dam is stakes-winning G1 Oaks third Mezzogiorno (Unfuwain). Lady Charlotte, who hails from the family of G1 2000 Guineas hero Mystiko (Secreto), is a half-sister to the 2-year-old filly Lady Evi (Masar). Her yearling full-sister died last year.

Returning to domestic duty after his Far Eastern ventures, last year's King George Hero Goliath (Adlerflug) cruised to a welcome facile win in Sunday's G3 La Coupe at ParisLongchamp. Sauntering to the front from the outset under Christophe Soumillon, the 9-10 favourite only had to stretch inside the last two furlongs to dispatch the filly Grand Stars (Sea The Stars) by 1 3/4 lengths. “We decided not to fight with him and let him be comfortable and when he's like that he's very good,” trainer Francis-Henri Graffard said of Resolute Bloodstock and Philip Baron Von Ullmann's flagbearer, who had run a rare tame race in the G1 QEII Cup in April. “He can quicken off any pace, he just needs to be relaxed as he is a horse that can be very tense. That's why he ran so poorly at Sha Tin, so I'm very happy and we can re-start with him. This race will do him good and I have to discuss with the entourage, but we will target the big races again.” The post King George Hero Goliath Back In The Groove At ParisLongchamp appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
