THE three-year-old fillies Empress Josephine (Galileo) and Incarville (Wootton Bassett) have something significant in common.

Both won a Group 1 in the past week, and in so doing they were both registering their first stakes victory. Empress Josephine edged out her stablemate Joan Of Arc by a short-head in the Tattersalls Irish 1000 Guineas, while Incarville was a head in front on the line following the Coolmore-sponsored Prix Saint-Alary.
