STAR Catcher rounded off her excellent campaign with victory in the Group 1 Qipco British Champions Fillies & Mares Stakes at Ascot.

John Gosden’s three-year-old was a maiden at the start of the season, having finished sixth on her only juvenile start at Chelmsford. However, a good case can now be made for her being the best middle-distance filly of her generation after adding this Group 1 prize to her earlier big-race wins this season in the Ribblesdale at Royal Ascot, the Irish Oaks at the Curragh and the Prix Vermeille in Paris.
