Campanelle Exudes Class in Giant’s Causeway

[Wandering Eyes]

Stonestreet Stables LLC's CAMPANELLE (IRE) (f, 4, Kodiac {GB}–Janina {GB}, by Namid {GB}) touched 3-2 in the final stages of the wagering for Saturday's Listed Giant's Causeway S. at Keeneland, but drifted all the way out to 19-10 and asserted her class to post her third black-type success in stakes-record time. Away fairly, the 190,000gns Tattersalls October acquisition settled in fifth position and raced a touch keen three off the inside into the turn. Going well on the turn, she was eased out into the four path at the quarter, was shaken up and hit the front with a little less than a furlong to race and pulled away to take it by about two lengths in the stakes-record time of 1:01.98. 'TDN Rising Star' Star Devine (Ire) (Fastnet Rock {Aus}) sat a perfect inside trip and kicked on to be second. While it has been an uncharacteristically quiet beginning to the Keeneland meet with his 2-year-olds, trainer Wesley Ward is quickly snapping up the turf stakes, having saddled Golden Pal (Uncle Mo) in the GII Shakertown S. last Saturday and Ruthin (GB) (Ribchester {Ire}) in Friday's Limestone S. Ward indicated that Campanelle, who was somewhat controversially promoted to the win in the 2021 G1 Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot, is on track for the £1-million G1 Platinum Jubilee June 18, Ward said. Sales history: 190,000gns Ylg '19 TATOCT. O-Stonestreet Stables LLC; B-Tally-Ho Stud; T-Wesley Ward.
