Middleton Success For Dubawi’s Coronet

[Wandering Eyes]

Last seen finishing third in Ascot’s G1 Qipco British Champions Fillies & Mares S., Denford Stud’s Coronet (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) is bound for that venue again after an authoritative return success in Thursday’s G2 Betfred Middleton S. at York. Settled with two behind early by Frankie Dettori, last year’s G2 Ribblesdale S. winner moved up to take control approaching the quarter pole and quickly opened up before possibly idling on her own en route to a 1 1/2-length verdict over Horseplay (GB) (Cape Cross {Ire}). “She’s the best ride. She’s brilliant, she’s honest and she’s got an engine,” Dettori said of the 2-1 favourite who will probably next be seen in the Royal meeting’s G2 Hardwicke S. “It’s just nice to be around her. When you get up on a morning and see your name down to ride her it’s a privilege. Her work had been good coming into the race and she was very good today. I’m not sure what the plans will be for her next, we’ll have to discuss it with John, but I’d imagine the plan would be to come back here for the Yorkshire Oaks later in the year as she clearly likes the place.” Click for the Racing Post result or the free Equineline.com catalogue-style pedigree.
