Stakes Double for Churchill
Fresh from siring Attrition (5h Churchill x Queen's Kiss, by French Deputy) to win the $2million Group II ATC Stakes at Rosehill on Saturday, Churchillmade it an international stakes double on Saturday when his three year-old colt Fast Tracker (3c Churchill x Emma Knows, by Anabaa) won the Listed Prix le Fabuleaux (1800m) at Chantilly.
Trained by Henri-Alex Pantall, Fast Tracker bolted in by six lengths and has now won four of six starts with the only real blot on his copybook an unplaced effort in the Group I Prix du Jockey Club back in June.
A two time stakes-winner, Fast Tracker is a half-brother to stakes-placed My Scholar and is the best of three winners from unraced Anabaa mare Emma Knows, who comes from the family of Group I VRC Australian Cup winner Fifty Stars.
A champion miler by legendary sire Galileo, Churchill runs at 5% SW to runner and represents great value at his fee of $19,800.
