Dubai: Bargain purchase Bond’s Girl gunned down her rivals to win a hard-fought renewal of the Weatherbys Hamilton Insurance £300,000 2-Y-O Stakes at Doncaster’s St. Leger meeting on Thursday.

Ridden with supreme confidence by Patrick Mathers, the £3,000 acquisition showed her true worth when delivering a classy effort in the six furlong sprint, which she comfortably won by two lengths from Heartbreak Hero, the mount of top rider Ryan Moore.

Talking to Channel 4 Racing as his mount was led into an ecstatic winner’s enclosure, Mathers said: “It’s some buzz, I’ve never had a feeling like that before.

“Coming here I was quite confident and I just tracked the right horses. That’s my biggest win yet.”

Meanwhile, Kiyoshi snapped a six-race losing streak to post an impressive victory in the Group 2 Japan Racing Association Sceptre Stakes, a race named after the outstanding 1902 St. Leger winner who is regarded as one of the great fillies of all time.

Trained by Charlie Hills, three-year-old Dubawi filly Kiyoshi had a length and a quarter to spare to Bragging at the line, while Al Thakhira was a shorthead back in third.

The winner was always held in high regard by her connections ever since she stamped her class on the Group 3 Albany Stakes at Royal Ascot last June with a stunning three and a half length victory over subsequent Nell Gwyn (G3) scorer Sandiva.

Earlier, Luca Cumani’s Silk Sari booked her ticket to Longchamp, France, after running out a five-length winner of the Group 2 Park Hill Stakes, a 175-year-old race also known as the fillies’ St. Leger as it is run over the St Leger distance, which was then one mile, six furlongs.

Cumani, who was winning the event for the fifth time, told Channel 4 Racing: “I thought she would run well — she’s been in excellent form — but winning like that was unexpected.

“There’s a mile and five Group race (Prix de Royallieu) on Arc weekend for fillies, she might go for that. After that she’s going to Dubawi, the bloodlines will suit, as well as attitudes and racing style.”

Jockey Andrea Atzeni added: “I thought she’d run well but I didn’t think she’d win that well.”

The Prix de Royallieu is run over a distance of 2,500 metres.
