More For Moore – Ryan’s Windsor Forest Stakes Victory

Jockey Ryan Moore celebrated his second win of the day in the day’s second race, the Windsor Forest Stakes, atop Strawberrydaiquiri. The four-year-old, who schools at the stables of Sir Michael Stoute, unearthed incredible energy resources and ran down last year’s Windsor Forest Stakes winner Spacious.

In many ways Moore’s strategy in the Windsor Forest Stakes mirrored his winning ride in the Jersey Stakes on Rainfall just minutes earlier. From the beginning of the race he positioned his mount in the front of the field, taking the leading position early on. However, similar to the events in the Jersey Stakes, there was one contender who refused to let the filly get away – James Fanshawe-trained Spacious.

Johnny Murtagh, who rode Spacious in her 2009 win in the Windsor Forest Stakes, was on the reins again and nearly succeeded in repeating the filly’s winning performance. For a short distance Murtagh and his mount took the lead from Strawberrydaiquiri, but her willpower proved superior to Spacious’ need to win. Mobilizing every last shred of power, Strawberrydaiquiri took back the lead and was first across the line by a short head, much to the delight of Sir Michael Stoute and a double-winning Moore.

The runner making it to third place – again similarly to the Jersey Stakes result – arrived three lengths after the duelling front runners. Antara, bred in Germany and trained by Saeed Bin Suroor, held onto her position behind the leaders throughout the race. Under the guidance of veteran rider Frankie Dettori, the four-year-old filly managed to stay ahead of Alsace Lorraine, the Fanshawe student hot on her heels, and finish in the money. Suroor and Dettori were both impressed with their charge’s effort, but the trainer has decided to allow Antara an extended rest and training period in order to get her up to an optimum level of fitness.
