This was won by the Danehill Dancer (by Danehill) filly Osaila, a 220,000gns Tattersalls October Yearling Sale graduate.

The filly was runner-up over five furlongs at Nottingham on her debut and then finished fifth behind Cursory Glance in the Group 3 Albany Stakes at Ascot before opening her winning account with a three-length score at Doncaster last month.

She holds a long list of big race entries, including the Group 1 Moyglare Stud Stakes and the Group 1 Connolly’s Red Mills Cheveley Park Stakes, and she is among the ante-post favourites, with some bookmakers, for next year’s Group 1 Qipco 1000 Guineas.

She is a full-sister to a Group 3 winner, she is the grand-daughter of an Arc heroine, and her family is full of Group 1 and other pattern race scorers, factors that boost her prospects of excelling both on the track and, later, at stud.

Osaila is bred by the Mennetou Syndicate and she is out of an unraced mare called Mennetou (by Entrepreneur).

Her full-sister Obama Rule won the Group 3 Dance Design Stakes over nine furlongs at the Curragh four years ago, her half-sister Zeva (by Zamindar) won over a mile in the USA and her other siblings include a yearling half-sister by the top Australian shuttle stallion Fastnet Rock (by Danehill).

Should Osaila go on to become a top class performer then she will be the latest in her family to do so.

Her grandam is the Group 1 Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe heroine Detroit (by Riverman), the mare who held the unique distinction of being the Arc winning dam of an Arc winner from the day her son Carnegie (by Sadler’s Wells) took the prize in 1994, until Urban Sea’s brilliant son Sea The Stars landed the spoils 15 years later.

Detroit is also responsible for the pattern scorers Antisaar (by Northern Dancer) and Lake Erie (by Kings Lake), she is the dam of the listed winning filly Honfleur (by Sadler’s Wells), and her descendants also include the classic-placed Group 2 Ribblesdale Stakes heroine Banimpire (by Holy Roman Emperor).

Detroit’s classic placed half-sister Durtal (by Lyphard), who won the Group 1 Cheveley Park Stakes as a juvenile, also made an impact at stud, becoming the dam of the dual Group 1 Gold Cup star Gildoran (by Rheingold), and being the third dam of the Group 1 Irish 2000 Guineas winner and Ballyhane Stud stallion Roderic O’Connor (by Galileo), whose first yearlings will be on offer this summer and autumn.
