Chasemore Farm’s Breege Upsets The City Of York

[Wandering Eyes]

Saturday's G2 City of York Stakes was primed for an upset with its dual winner Kinross (GB) (Kingman {GB}) withdrawn and the exciting 3-year-old Lake Forest (GB) (No Nay Never) also exiting stage left after becoming upset in the stalls and so it proved with Breege (GB) (Starspangledbanner {Aus}) delivering the surprise outcome at 33-1.

Without a win since capturing Epsom's G3 Princess Elizabeth Stakes over an extended mile, the John and Sean Quinn-trained Chasemore Farm homebred benefitted from a suicidal pace up front to come through under Colin Keane a furlong out and score by 1 1/2 lengths from the 22-1 shot Vafortino (Ire) (New Bay {GB}).

 

A great finish to the @SkyBet City Of York Stakes, where Breege flew from the back of the pack to come home and take the top prize! @ctkjockey | @johnquinnracing pic.twitter.com/EEqU1wlRMw
