Solario Success For Sea The Stars’ Reach For The Moon

[Wandering Eyes]

The Queen has a serious Classic candidate for 2022 judged on the manner of the win of her homebred Reach For the Moon (GB) (Sea the Stars {Ire}) in Saturday's G3 Betway Solario S. at Sandown. Runner-up to 'TDN Rising Star' Point Lonsdale (Ire) (Australia {GB}) in the Listed Chesham S. over this seven-furlong trip June 19, the bay had since beaten the subsequent York nursery winner Harrow (Ire) (El Kabeir) by four lengths in a Newbury novice July 16 and started as the 2-5 favourite to provide John Gosden with a record-equalling sixth winner of this prize he had used for Raven's Pass, Kingman (GB) and Too Darn Hot (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}). Settled in a perfect rhythm on the outside by Frankie Dettori tracking the leading duo, he travelled smoothly to the front passing the two-furlong pole and stayed straight and true on his own to dominate from there. At the line, he had four lengths to spare over the Chesham third Great Max (Ire) (Wootton Bassett {GB}), who held on to second by a short head from Rerouting (Ire) (El Kabeir).
