U S S MICHIGAN (c, 3, War Front–Photograph, by Unbridled’s Song) Lifetime Record: 2-1-1-0, €11,813. O-Susan Magnier, Michael Tabor, Derrick Smith & Joseph Allen; B-Joseph Allen, LLC (KY); T-Aidan O’Brien.
Out early with time to catch up on, having been sidelined since finishing such an encouraging second on debut in a Curragh maiden over this six-furlong trip at the end of June, U S S Michigan was quickly away from his widest draw to race in second. In front when lugging right with 1 1/2 furlongs remaining, the 2-5 favourite stayed on to record a comfortable 2 1/2-length verdict over Royal Court (Ire) (Zoffany {Ire}). “He’s a very big, strong horse and he’s going to get better throughout the year,” jockey Ryan Moore commented. “He’s going to be a real progressive horse and he did everything right, so you’d have to be happy with that start.” Joseph Allen’s grey is a full-brother to the G3 Prix de Guiche scorer War Dispatch, who had the stamina to be third in the G1 Prix du Jockey Club behind New Bay (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) and Highland Reel (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}).
