Progressive filly SWOON (Frankel x Marine Bleu) put up a fine front-running performance when carrying the colours of her owner, Qatar Racing Limited, to success when taking the MansionBet Proud To Support British Racing Fillies Novice’ Stakes at Carlisleon Tuesday, August 17th.
Trained by Sir Michael Stoute, SWOON took her tally to two wins from only three starts and was following up an easy success at Wolverhampton three weeks ago.
Ridden on this occasion by Cieren Fallon, SWOON was sent straight into the lead for the four-runner one mile four-furlong contest. Travelling well, the three-year-old never looked in trouble even when being briefly pressed by TRES SPECIALE (Siyouni) inside the final two furlongs. Despite hanging to the left, SWOON was clear inside the final furlong and went on to score by an easy three-length margin at the line. Outsider of the four TYKENWEAR (Cannock Chase) took third place though far away behind with an extra nine and a half length margin.
Bred by Qatar Bloodstock Limited, Swoon is by FRANKEL (Galileo), who stands at Banstead Manor Stud in Newmarket. She is out of MARINE BLEUE(Desert Prince), who was trained in Chantilly by Nicolas Clement. Both a Listed and a Group Three winner over a mile, MARINE BLEUE has produced nine induvial winners including the Group Two winner MILITARY LAW(Dubawi), MARINA PICCOLA(Haling) a Listed winner and dam of the Group One winner FRENCH KING(French Fifteen), the Group Three placed WEDNAAN(Dubawi) andMARINE ONE(Frankel) a Listed winner over hurdles.
