Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted July 19, 2020 Journalists Share Posted July 19, 2020 There is plenty of music in the pedigree of Newbury listed winner Cabaletta (GB). She is out of Allegretto (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) (moderately fast tempo in classical music, 102-110bpm technically speaking), herself out of Alleluia (GB) (Caerleon). Still, the name of this filly is particularly fitting: a “cabaletta” can be defined as an operatic aria with a simple, animated rhythm, and, according to Wikipedia, “the word may derive from the Italian cavallo (horse), a reference to the pulsating rhythm of a galloping horse”. In fact, both jockey David Egan and the TDN race reporter seem to agree that this talented and promising filly has to be kept in a steady and controlled rhythm until the finale, when, as Walt Whitman would put it, “with music strong she comes”.
