+MISSION IMPASSIBLE (IRE) (f, 2, Galileo {Ire}–Margot Did {Ire} {Hwt. 3yo Filly-Eng at 5-7f & G1SW-Eng, $425,664}, by Exceed and Excel {Aus}) was well away from the inside gate and settled third after the initial strides of this unveiling. Nudged along off the home turn, the 3-5 favourite quickened to seize control approaching the final furlong and kept on well under minimal urging in the closing stages to comfortably best Qatar Cup (Fr) (French Fifteen {Fr}) by 3/4 of a length. Full-sister to a filly foal, the chestnut is the first foal produced by G1 Nunthorpe S.-winning British highweight sophomore filly Margot Did (Ire) (Exceed and Excel {Aus}) and is from a family which also includes G1 Prix de la Foret-winning sire Caradak (Ire) (Desert Style {Ire}). Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, €9,000. Video, sponsored by Fasig-Tipton.
