Champion
Australian sire Fastnet Rock featured at Longchamp in France on Arc day siring
four year-old mare One Master to win the Group I Prix de la Foret.
A Group III winner at her previous start, the William Haggas trained mare
soared to new heights with this tenacious short head victory over seven
furlongs.
"One Master is a lovely filly
that wants soft ground. We got her up to 7f and she won well in Tipperary.
She's done very well on roughish ground but she doesn't mind that, she's tough.
Our plan had always been to keep her in training but now she's won a Group 1
we'll have to have a regroup," said William Haggas.
A homebred for Lael Stable, One Master has won four of eight starts and is the
best of three winners from Group III winning Pivotal mare Enticing,a daughter
of Champion 2YO Filly Superstar Leo.
This family has already produced a Group I winner by Fastnet Rock in Rivet, who
won the Group I Racing Post Trophy at Doncaster.
One Master is the 36th stakes-winner for Fastnet Rock, who has a top
chance in the $13million The Everest this Saturday in Shoals.
