Wathnan Buys Irish 1000 Guineas Winner Fallen Angel From Clipper Logistics

[Wandering Eyes]

Irish Guineas heroine Fallen Angel (GB) (Too Darn Hot {GB}) has been purchased by Wathnan Racing, the organisation's racing adviser Richard Brown confirmed to the TDN on Saturday. The 3-year-old filly had been previously campaigned by Clipper Logistics and trainer Karl Burke. The news was first reported by the Nick Luck Daily podcast.

Browniser said, “She's a tremendous athlete, already a dual Group 1 winner, and we're very excited to see what she can do in the months and seasons ahead.”

Bred by Branton Court Stud, LLP, the daughter of G2 May Hill Stakes winner and G1 Fillies Mile second Agnes Stewart (Ire) (Lawman {Fr}) won three of her four starts at two, including the G1 Moyglare Stud Stakes and G3 Sweet Solera Stakes. Unplaced in the G1 1000 Guineas, she ran out a 2 3/4-length victress of the Irish equivalent in May. Her current record stands at 6-4-1-0 and $622,881 in earnings. She is targeting the G1 Matron Stakes on Irish Champions Weekend in September.

She is a half-sister to the G3 Stanerra Stakes second Divine Jewel (GB) (Frankel {GB}), herself a half-sister to the stakes winner and dual American graded-placed Sorrel (Ire) (Dansili {GB}). This is the extended family of G1 National Stakes winner and sire Definite Article (GB) (Indian Ridge {Ire}).
