+TIME CHASER (GB) (f, 3, Dubawi {Ire}–Passage of Time {GB} {G1SW-Fr, GSW & G1SP-Eng, GISP-US, $651,668}, by Dansili {GB}), who traded as the 7-4 favourite, made a bright start with a fast break before being reined back to take a lead. Fourth on the home turn, the homebred bay was green when asked to take closer order in the straight but after some cajoling from James Doyle knuckled down for a couple of taps to gain the lead passing the furlong pole en route to a half-length success from Meccabah (Fr) (Makfi {GB}). Passage of Time, who first came to the fore when winning the 2006 G1 Criterium de Saint-Cloud and went on to finish third in the GI Breeders' Cup Filly and Mare Turf, G1 Prix Vermeille and G1 Nassau S., has already produced this stable's four-times group winner and G1 Eclipse S. third Time Test (GB) from a mating with Dubawi. Her full-brother Father Time (GB) captured the G2 King Edward VII S., while her half-sister Timepiece (GB) (Zamindar) managed to cause an upset in the G1 Falmouth S. The third dam Quandary (Blushing Groom {Fr}) is a half-sister to the G1 Prix du Moulin de Longchamp heroine and G1 Epsom Oaks and G1 Juddmonte International runner-up All at Sea (Riverman), with her descendants featuring the European champion and four-times group 1 winner Twice Over (GB) (Observatory). Passage of Time's 2-year-old colt is also by Dubawi and he is named Perpetual (GB), while her yearling colt is by Kingman (GB). Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $4,145.
