Heavenly Breath gains Her First Black Type at Paris Longchamp 08/09/22

Heavenly Breath ( Dark Angel x Astonishing) gained her first black type this afternoon at Paris Longchamp by finishing 2nd in the  Group 3 Prix d’Aumale over a mile. Heavenly Breath broke nicely and made most of the running before being eye balled turning in by the Gosden trained Liftoff, however AppleTree’s filly put her head down and galloped all the way to the line to finish 2nd behind Blue Rose Cen beaten 1 1/2 lengths. It was only our fillies 3rd run and she showed signs of being green, she handled the soft ground well and will probably have 1 more run before being put away for a winter break. Heavenly Breath is the 3rd winner from 3 foals for her dam Astonishing and the third stakes performer which boads well for the mare. Astonishing has a beautiful Too Darn Hot filly at foot and is in foal to Palace Pier.
