Chain Of Lightning Set To Be Sold With Royal Ascot Proviso

[Wandering Eyes]

Chain Of Lightning (Aus) (Fighting Sun {Aus}), the surprise winner of the G1 T. J. Smith S. at Randwick earlier this month, is set to be sold before a potential appearance in the G1 Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot on Saturday, June 22.

Trained by Katherine Coleman and Peter Moody–who memorably won the same race at the Royal meeting with the brilliant Black Caviar (Aus) (Bel Esprit {Aus}) back in 2012–Chain Of Lightning was gaining her first victory at the top level when winning the T. J. Smith, holding on bravely to get the verdict by a neck from Bella Nipotina (Aus) (Pride Of Dubai {Aus}).

Another run at Randwick in Saturday's G1 All Aged S. is now on the cards for the five-year-old before her sales date and a likely trip to Britain. However, whether she races for Coleman and Moody at Royal Ascot will reportedly depend on whether she is sold and who buys her.

Moody told Racing.com, “She's going to the broodmare sales in May and we've accepted an invitation to Ascot, so she'll be sold under that proviso at the Magic Millions broodmare sale.”

Chain Of Lightning could be joined at Royal Ascot by the multiple Group 2 winner Asfoora (Aus) (Flying Artie {Aus}), who was earmarked for a European campaign by trainer Henry Dwyer after she finished a close-up fourth in last month's G1 Galaxy H. at Rosehill.
