Godolphin Comments
Top-class son of Frankel; dam 1m Group 3 winner/Irish 1,000 second (RPR 110), sister to useful winners Anglophile (7f-2m) and Seniority (7f-1m3f) out of 1m 2yo Group 3 winner; green when fourth of eleven in 1m maiden at Nottingham on debut in October 2020 and built on that by winning at same venue at the end of the month (1m, soft); promising first start of 2021 when staying on second of ten in Group 3 Classic Trial at Sandown (10f) in April and then finished second of six in Lingfield Derby Trial (1m4f) in May; took his form to the next level on following start when an emphatic winner of the Derby, coming home over 4l ahead of the second, a result that was franked soon after; took a further leap forward when becoming the first Derby winner since Galileo 20 years earlier to land the King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Stakes when next seen; good fourth in the Arc at Longchamp on next start in October, having missed his intended prep race and then fifth in Champion Stakes (ran freely) at Ascot in October; missed summer targets in 2022 after a respiratory infection but won a three-runner conditions race at Doncaster (10f) on long-awaited return in September and ran another massive race when close second in Champion Stakes at Ascot (10f) and may now go to the Breeders' Cup.
Good to soft is optimum ground
Adayar has won 4 times from 1m to 1m4f on ground varying from good to firm to soft. Beaten ½l by Bay Bridge when second of 9 at 6/1 on his latest outing in the Group 1 Qipco Champion Stakes at Ascot over 1m2f (good to soft) in October last year. The Derby and King George hero takes on the exciting Anmaat in an intriguing renewal of the bet365 Gordon Richards Stakes at Newmarket on Sunday.
Delighted with Adayar's preparation - Charlie Appleby
Last season was not so smooth for the son of Franke and he did not make his reappearance until dominating a couple of rivals in a Doncaster conditions race in September, after which he got closest to Bay Bridge in the Qipco Champion Stakes. With Appleby keen to add a 10f Group 1 to the 5yos CV before he is retired to stud, the trainer views this Group 3 as an ideal starting point ahead of Royal Ascot. The trainer confirmed: "We have been delighted with Adayar’s preparation. He worked well in a racecourse gallop at Newmarket last week and it was always the plan to start him off here, this is very much a prep race ahead of the Prince Of Wales’s Stakes, but he is the class horse in the field." The trainer also runs Highland Avenue to ensure a decent pace.
