Crimson Palace was a game winner of the Beverly
D Stakes on Saturday at Arlington Park. It was the Elliodor filly’s
seventh career win and her second for Godolphin. The race netted her a
cool $450,000. Ridden by Frankie Dettori, the filly accounted
for millionaire Riskaverse by half a length, with European Group One
winners Necklace and Musical Chimes in third and fourth respectively. She was coming off a disappointing run at Royal
Ascot when finishing unplaced behind subsequent Nassau Stakes winner
Favourable Terms. The four year old has now won in four countries,
including the Paddock Stakes in South Africa and the Middleton Stakes in
Britain. The latter saw her defeat Beneventa - the filly
who beat Soviet Song on her seasonal debut. |
