Be Fabulous lands Group 1
BE FABULOUS became Blandford Bloodstock’s latest Group 1 winner when taking the Prix Royal-Oak at Longchamp on Sunday.
The daughter of Samum was purchased as a yearling at the BBAG September Yearling sale in 2008 for €250,000 and runs in the all gold colours of Godolphin France.
She is a full-sister to Group 1 winner Baila Me and a half-sister to dual Listed winner Bailamos.
Be Fabulous, trainer by Andre Fabre, has won three of her six starts and won Sunday’s race in the style of a top-stayer in the making.
She stalked the pace set by Cavalryman and was always travelling well before jockey Maxime Guyon switched her to the outside inside the final furlong.
She hit the front inside the final furlong and surged clear to win comfortably by a length and three-quarters.
