Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted April 15 Journalists Share Posted April 15 Juddmonte already had live contenders for the European Classics before Zanzoun (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) added her name to the list in Tuesday's G3 Lanwades Stud Nell Gwyn Stakes at Newmarket. Always travelling strongly under the patient tactics employed by Kieran Shoemark, the John and Thady Gosden-trained Southwell maiden winner rolled down the hill and to the fore before outstaying Celestial Orbit (GB) (No Nay Never) for a 1 3/4-length success. Remaat (GB) (Kodiac {GB}) was a further half a length away in third. “She enjoyed the ground, settled early which was pleasing and travelled very well,” John Gosden said of the 9-1 shot, whose dam Franconia (GB) (Frankel {GB}) was a listed winner for this stable and a half to the G1 Nassau Stakes heroine Winsili (GB) (Dansili {GB}). “She likes to get her toe in, so we'll always be looking for this kind of ground for her. Her mother was a nice filly who stayed a mile and a quarter, but I think a mile is going to be this one's limit. I think she's more one for France [for the G1 Poule d'Essai des Pouliches] than the 1,000 Guineas.” Zanzoun lands the Nell Gwyn for team Gosden pic.twitter.com/UDrAvGdBTH — Racing TV (@RacingTV) April 15, 2025 Tuesday, Newmarket, Britain LANWADES STUD NELL GWYN STAKES-G3, £85,000, Newmarket, 4-15, 3yo, f, 7fT, 1:29.22, g/s. 1–ZANZOUN (GB), 128, f, 3, by Dubawi (Ire) 1st Dam: Franconia (GB) (MSW-Eng), by Frankel (GB) 2nd Dam: Winter Sunrise (GB), by Pivotal (GB) 3rd Dam: Winter Solstice (GB), by Unfuwain 1ST BLACK-TYPE WIN; 1ST GROUP WIN.
