Quickfire Double For Marc Chan As Kinross Eases To City Of York Success

[Wandering Eyes]

With Angel Bleu (Fr) (Dark Angel {Ire}) having annexed the G2 Celebration Mile at Goodwood just 20 minutes earlier, 'TDN Rising Star' Kinross (GB) (Kingman {GB}–Ceilidh House {GB}, by Selkirk) stepped forward to register a quickfire double for the Marc Chan-Ralph Beckett axis by successfully defending his title in Saturday's £500,000 Sky Bet City Of York S. on the Knavesmire.

Last term's G1 Prix de la Foret and G1 British Champions Sprint hero backed up a third in Newmarket's G1 July Cup with a second renewal of Goodwood's G2 Lennox S. earlier in the month and raced in mid division until turning for home. Making eyecatching headway on the bridle in the centre of the track in the straight, the 9-4 favourite quickened in style to seize control entering the final furlong and was comfortably in command from there as Frankie Dettori afforded himself the luxury of an early salute to the masses. The winning margin at the line was 3/4-of-a-length back to Audience (GB) (Iffraaj {GB}), who finished a head in front of Sandrine (GB) (Bobby's Kitten).

Pedigree Notes

Kinross is the fifth of six foals and one of four scorers out of Listed Gillies Fillies' S. victress Ceilidh House (GB) (Selkirk), herself kin to the dam of G3 Solario S. winner and G1 Poule d'Essai des Poulains runner-up First Selection (Spa) (Diktat {GB}). His dual stakes-winning second dam Villa Carlotta (GB) (Rainbow Quest), herself a daughter of multiple stakes-winning G3 Rockfel S. second Subya (GB) (Night Shift) from the family of G1 Irish Derby-winning sire Law Society (Alleged), is a half-sister to GI Hollywood Derby second Battle of Hastings (GB) (Royal Applause {GB}) and to the stakes-placed dam of South African Grade 1 performers Mljet (SAf) (Jet Master {SAf}) and Felix The Cat (SAf) (Black Minnaloushe).
