Inspiral to be aimed at QEII on Champions Day

-

Fans of Inspiral may have to wait until October to see her again, following her
superb victory in the Prix Jacques le Mairois at Deauville last week.

The John and Thady Gosden-trained daughter of Frankel secured the third Group One success of her career, beating Light Infantry a neck in the mile contest.

Head and shoulders above her rivals as a juvenile, winning each of her first four starts which included top-class success in the Fillies’ Mile at Newmarket, she missed the early part of her Classic season when coming slow to hand.

John Gosden was full of praise for Inspiral’s ‘courage’ after her superb victory in the Prix Jacques le Marois at Deauville.

Not seen again until June, she appeared better than ever when taking the Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot, before suffering a shock defeat at odds of 1/7 in the Falmouth at Newmarket the following month.

However, she proved a point in France, with Frankie Dettori’s mount handing the likes of previously unbeaten colt Erevann and Qipco 2000 Guineas winner Coroebus a beating.
