+AL JOHRAH (GB) (f, 2, Bated Breath (GB)">Bated Breath {GB}–Bea Remembered {GB} {GSP-Ire, SP-Eng & Swe}, by Doyen {Ire}) missed a beat at the kick, but soon recovered to race in a leading wave of four through halfway in this newcomers' dash. Pushed along soon after gaining outright control inside the two pole, the 43-10 second choice quickened smartly for two cracks of the whip in the closing stages to win going away from Sindene (Fr) (Zafeen {Fr}) by 1 1/2 lengths. Al Shaqab's homebred bay becomes the first winner for Banstead Manor resident and freshman sire Bated Breath (GB) (Dansili {GB}), who covered at an advertised fee of £8,000 in 2014. She is a half to G3 Craven S. winner and G1 Criterium International runner-up Stormy Antarctic (GB) (Stormy Atlantic), GSW-Eng & G1SP-Fr, $135,612; and a yearling filly by Style Vendome (Fr). Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, €12,500. Video, sponsored by Fasig-Tipton.
