Shadwell's Falakeyah Supplemented To Coronation

Owen Burrows | Tattersalls 

Shadwell's unbeaten Falakeyah (New Bay) has been supplemented to the June 20 G1 Coronation Stakes.

The listed-winning homebred delivered by 3 1/4 lengths in the Pretty Polly Stakes at Newmarket in May, but was ruled out of the G1 Betfred Oaks with a dirty scope and was deemed not ready for Sunday's G1 Prix de Diane Longines.

“Owen [Burrows] feels she is now back to where she was before the dirty scope,” said Shadwell's racing manager Angus Gold on Shadwell's website. “He's very happy with her and together we feel the Coronation is the right race for her now. Jim believes she has the pace to be competitive at a mile at that level. She's definitely got a lot of class, and we are looking forward to Friday.”

Falakeyah will face the Aga Khan Studs' G1 Poule d'Essai des Pouliches heroine Zarigana (Siyouni) in the one-mile race. The duo are part of a 15-strong field that also features Pouliches second Shes Perfect (Sioux Nation) as a possible, who also runs in the Diane on Sunday. Aidan O'Brien runs several, including multiple group winner Bedtime Story (Frankel).
