FIVE of the eight Group 1 Royal Ascot winners, Charyn, Asfoora, Rosallion, Auguste Rodin and Kyprios were reviewed last week, and now it is time to complete the list with three more, Inisherin (Shamardal), Porta Fortuna (Caravaggio), and a second Group 1 winner for Dark Angel (Acclamation), Khaadem.

Supplemented for the Group 1 Commonwealth Cup, Inisherin was a second winner at the highest level for his family at the meeting, days after his close relation Rosallion (Blue Point) added the Group 1 St James’s Palace Stakes to prior successes in the Group 1 Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere at two, and the Group 1 Irish 2000 Guineas. This is simply one of the most happening families in the stud book at present.
