Redoute’s Choice’s Enbihaar Beats the 3-Year-Olds In the Park Hill

[Wandering Eyes]

Sheikh Hamdan bin Rashid Al Maktoum’s Enbihaar (Ire) (Redoute’s Choice {Aus}) looked to have a stern challenge against the 3-year-old fillies with her penalty and weight-for-age levelling the playing field in Thursday’s G2 Park Hill S. at Doncaster, but she prevailed again to keep her sequence going. Settled in rear early by Jim Crowley, the 6-5 favourite made steady progress as her chief market rival Dame Malliot (GB) (Champs Elysees {GB}) began to flounder in midstraight and swooped on Vivid Diamond (Ire) (Cape Cross {Ire}) approaching the final furlong. Joined by Ballydoyle’s Delphinia (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) soon after, the July 6 G2 Lancashire Oaks and Aug. 3 G2 Lillie Langtry S. winner kept finding to deny her by a short head, with Vivid Diamond 2 3/4 lengths away in third. “They went a good honest gallop and I wanted to get her rolling in the straight with the strong headwind, but she slipped badly on the bend and it took her time to come back to me and get her confidence back,” jockey Jim Crowley explained. “She probably thought she’d done enough when she got there and she’s a real star who takes it all in her stride. With every run, she’s got better and better. She could have easily been retired at three, but I remember she gave me a hell of a feel at Ascot last year and dare I say it, she could be even better next year as she’s only starting to fill her frame.”
