Fallen Angel powers away for another Group One in Sun Chariot

Fallen Angel registered her third successive Group One victory with an ultimately very straightforward success in the BetMGM Sun Chariot Stakes at Newmarket.

Karl Burke’s four-year-old took a few races to return to her best this season, but since August she has proved without doubt that she is the best filly over a mile in training.

With top-level wins at two and three already banked, the main aim this year was to bag another and she did that for connections in France in the Prix Rothschild, after which came the Matron Stakes.

James Doyle initially kept her away from the main group, leading the smaller section down the middle of the track, but when it became clear it was between Fallen Angel and Blue Bolt, they drifted over to the rail, where the 11-4 chance went on to pull two and a quarter lengths clear.

Another four and a half lengths back in third was the Charlie Appleby-trained favourite Cinderella’s Dream (11-8).
