+SENATOR (GB) (c, 2, Frankel (GB)">Frankel {GB}–Red Bloom {GB} {G1SW-Eng, MGSW & MG1SP-Ire, GSP-Fr, $762,557}, by Selkirk) broke well and tracked the leaders in a handy fourth from flagfall in this first go. Shaken up to close approaching the final quarter mile, the 13-8 favourite's inexperience was evident and his response not immediate, but he found his feet and ran on strongly under whipless cajoling in the closing stages to prevail by a snug half length from Father McKenzie (GB) (Sixties Icon {GB}). Senator, half to a yearling colt by Intello (Ger), is the third winner out of G1 Fillies' Mile victress Red Bloom (GB) (Selkirk) and he becomes the eighth individual winner for his freshman sire (by Galileo {Ire}). His granddam is G1 Poule d'Essai des Pouliches third and MGSW highweight Red Camellia (GB) (Polar Falcon), from the family of top-level winners Ibn Bey (GB) (Mill Reef), Roseate Tern (GB) (Blakeney {GB}) and Teleprompter (GB) (Welsh Pageant {Fr}). Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, £4,528. Video, sponsored by Fasig-Tipton.
