MAQUETTE (f, 3, Tapit">Tapit–Announce {GB} {G1SW-Fr, $547,607}, by Selkirk), who earned 'TDN Rising Star' status going one mile at Saint-Cloud in her only prior start Oct. 2, broke on the lead before occupying a stalking role in second after the initial strides of this belated return. Nudged along approaching the quarter-mile marker, the 1-5 chalk eased to the fore with 300 metres remaining and kept on well under mild coaxing to easily account for stablemate Girl Friday (Fr) (Pivotal {GB}) by two lengths. Maquette is a daughter of G1 Prix Jean Romanet victress Announce (GB) (Selkirk), who is kin to three stakes performers including GSW G1 Poule d'Essai des Pouliches third Mexican Gold (Medaglia d'Oro). Her fourth dam, G3 Seaton Delaval S. winner Zaizafon (The Minstrel), produced of a swathe of stakes performers including MG1SW European champion Zafonic (Gone West) and MG1SP fellow sire Zamindar (Gone West). Maquette's siblings include the 2-year-old colt Speed Gun (First Defence) and a yearling colt by Distorted Humor. Lifetime Record: 2-2-0-0, €29,500. Video, sponsored by Fasig-Tipton.
