Mick Channon had already served notice that he boasts a smart crop of 3-year-old fillies at West Ilsley a week previously when Samitar (GB) (Rock of Gibraltar {Ire}) upset Ballydoyle's domination of the British and Irish Classics. While that stable companion was making waves at two, Laugh Out Loud was unsighted until January, but three months later was starting to come to the fore when winning a competitive renewal of Kempton's mile conditions event formerly known as the Listed Masaka S. Apr. 7. Tried in the G1 1000 Guineas at Newmarket, the bay was eighth in that May 6 Classic and came out the other side an improved performer as she demonstrated when beating Electrelane (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) by a length, with the useful stakes filly Hello Glory (GB) (Zamindar) left trailing 10 lengths behind the duo in the May 18 Listed Michael Seely Memorial S. at York. Taken straight to the lead by William Buick here, she was fresh on the lead, but after kicking decisively in early stretch had plenty in reserve to hold the prominently ridden Mashoora comfortably at bay. "I've always liked her and the ground was too loose for her in the Guineas, which was a mess of a race," Channon explained. "I was keen to come here and try for a Group 2 and I told the jockey not to be frightened to make it and to avoid a falsely run race. She's got a lot of speed and at one point, I was thinking about dropping her back to seven furlongs for the [June 20] G3 Jersey S. but now I'm keen to go for the G1 Coronation S. [at Royal Ascot June 22]. She has plenty of time to get over this beforehand." Mashoora's trainer Jean-Claude Rouget was gracious in defeat. "I have no excuses," he said."She ran a good race, but was just beaten by a better horse." Click for the Racing Post chart or the free brisnet.com catalogue-style pedigree. Equidia race video.
