Fastnet Filly In Fairy Bridge Breakthrough

[Wandering Eyes]

Emerging from Goodwood’s G3 Oak Tree S. with much credit when fourth there from a tough draw, Lael Stable’s One Master (GB) (Fastnet Rock {Aus}) had things fall right in Thursday’s G3 Coolmore Stud Fairy Bridge S. and duly annexed the Tipperary contest for a first pattern-race win. It is a measure of the regard in which the homebred is held by William Haggas that she was favourite when fourth in Lingfield’s G3 Chartwell Fillies’ S. over seven furlongs May 12 and when third in the G3 Ballyogan S. over six at The Curragh June 8, but she was 14-1 when coming from stall 17 at the Goodwood festival Aug. 3. Shown respect as the 9-2 second favourite here, the bay was habitually keen in mid-division for Colm O’Donoghue but when produced was able to draw in compatriot Dan’s Dream (GB) (Cityscape {GB}) 100 yards from the line and assert for a half-length verdict. “I spoke to James Doyle and Ryan Moore and they were very complimentary of the filly,” O’Donoghue explained. “They said to ride her cold as she’d finish off the race good and ground and trip wasn’t a problem. She hit the line strong.”

Pedigree Notes…
One Master, who had also captured the Listed October S. at Ascot as a 3-year-old, is a daughter of the talented Enticing (Ire), (Pivotal {GB}) who captured the G3 King George S. and G3 Molecomb S. for the same connections. Her dam Superstar Leo (Ire) (College Chapel {GB}) was purchased by Maureen Haggas for a mere 3,400gns at Tattersalls in 1999 and far exceeded expectations by winning the G2 Flying Childers S. and G3 Norfolk S. and finishing runner-up in the G1 Phoenix S. and G1 Prix de l’Abbaye de Longchamp. She also produced the listed-winning and G3 Jersey S. runner-up Sentaril (GB) (Danehill Dancer {Ire}) and is a half-sister to Starship (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), whose son Rivet (Ire), also by Fastnet Rock, captured the G1 Racing Post Trophy and G2 Champagne S. in 2016. This is the family of the G1 2000 Guineas-winning sire Footstepsinthesand (GB), G1 Irish 2000 Guineas-winning sire Power (GB) and December Draw (Ire) (Medecis {GB}), who captured the G1 Turnbull S. Enticing has an as-yet unraced 2-year-old colt by Bated Breath (GB) and a yearling colt and filly foal by Kodiac (GB).
