Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted October 15, 2022 Journalists Posted October 15, 2022 Nursed back from a deflating heavy defeat in the King George by John and Thady Gosden, TDN Rising Star Emily Upjohn (GB) (Sea The Stars {Ire}) returned to Ascot's same mile and a half with a flourish to capture Saturday's G1 QIPCO British Champions Fillies & Mares S. and complete a Frankie Dettori double on QIPCO British Champions Day. Keen initially as she had been last time, the newly-hooded bay was restrained to race halfway down the field trapped wide throughout the early stages. Travelling strongly on the turn into the straight, the 3-1 favourite who was sporting the Lloyd Webber silks took command passing two out and was soon clear and in control. At the line, she had three lengths to spare over the 50-1 shot Thunder Kiss (Ire) (Night Of Thunder {Ire}), with the 80-1 shot Insinuendo (Ire) (Gleneagles {Ire}) a further half length away in third as the Irish contingent performed with credit. “It would have been heartbreaking not winning a group one with his filly,” Dettori said. “Nothing went right at Epsom and she ran no race in the King George for whatever reason, but the team have done a great job with her and she had given me the 'wow factor' again in her last pieces of work.” Connections announced that the winner will stay in training at four with the Arc the main aim. Two for @FrankieDettori on Champions Day!
