TIME SCALE (GB) stormed home in the Dunraven Windows Median Auction Maiden Fillies’ Stakes in the colours of Qatar Racing Limited at Chepstow, UK, on Monday, 15 June. She won by an impressive 6-length margin on just her second career start. Drawn in mid-division, Ralph Beckett’s ward was quick to the lead in this 12-runner race. Traveling comfortably throughout, once, inside the final furlong, she dominated the race under a hands and heels ride from jockey Richard Kingscote.
By young stallion CHARM SPIRIT, who stands under the Qatar Racing banner at Tweenhills Stud, TIME SCALE is out of AN GHALANTA, who was Group placed for trainer and breeder Jim Bolger. An Ghalanta was bought by Qatar Racing at the Goffs November Sale in 2012. She is the dam of BLETCHLEY, who was second in the Group 2 Nassau Stakes at Woodbine, Canada.
His Highness Sheikh Abdullah bin Khalifa Al Thani’s colours recorded a new homebred victory on Sunday 14 June, when NICE PARTY (FR) broke her maiden tag with a comfortable win over 1,800 metres in the Prix Jacques Crenn at Saint-Malo, France. The three-year-old bay filly, trained by Henri-Alex Pantall, was having her third racecourse start following two moderate performances in March and May respectively. She was ridden in this 13-runner race by Soufiane Saadi, who steered her to a two-length victory in front of HELICCA BERE (Pedro The Great).
NICE PARTY is by Charm Spirit, who stands under the Qatar Racing banner at Tweenhills Stud in the U.K. She is out of Beau Fête, who was a Group 1 winner in Argentina and is already the dam of six winners.
