Coolmore's Triple Crown hero American Pharoah (USA) has been running hot in the Northern Hemisphere posting his third Group winner in the past 10 days at Churchill Downs on Saturday.
Quality filly Harvey’s Lil Goil won the Busanda Stakes at Aqueduct earlier in the year and took another step forward when taking out the $100,000 Group III Regret Stakes (1 and 1/8thm) on turf .
Trained by Bill Mott for the estate of her breeder Harvey Clarke and co-owner Paul Braverman, Harvey’s Lil Goil stalked the pace and was tenacious to the line in winning by a head.
Harvey’s Lil Goil has the overall record of three wins from just five starts earning over $150,000.
Harvey’s Lil Goil’s is the third winner from Gloria S, a half-sister by Tapit to Champion 3-Year-Old and Kentucky Derby winner I’ll Have Another and Grade III winner Golden Award.
She is the third Group winner for American Pharoah in the past 10 days joining Café Unicorn (Japan) and Sweet Melania (USA).
American Pharoah has five yearlings entered for Inglis Easter Round 2 on July 5 and you can see them here.
