The Group I Newmarket 1000 Guineas (1m) was run overnight with victory going to progressive filly Cachet, who like Newmarket 2,000 Guineas winner Coroebus, is from a daughter of Teofilo.
Trained by George Boughey, Cachet had a busy 2YO season racing eight times for a win and multiple Group placings, but has soared to a new level this year.
The daughter of Aclaim won the Group III Newmarket Nell Gwyn Stakes at her seasonal return and backed up from that to score a neck win under James Doyle over Prosperous Voyage (Zoffany) with Tuesday (Galileo) in third place.
She is the first Group I winner for her sire Aclaim, who stands at the National Stud for 6,000 pounds with his oldest progeny just 3YO's. A Group I winning sprinter miler by Accalamation, he had a whopping 29 first crop winners last year with Cachet the best of them.
She is the first winner for her dam Poyle Sophie, a placed half-sister to the dam of Group III winner Whisper Not.
She is the 34th Group I winner worldwide to carry a double cross of Danehill, the list boosted significantly this year thanks to Australia Group I winning fillies Fireburn, She’s Extreme and Hinged.
