Australian sire Fastnet Rock featured at Longchamp in France on Arc day siring five
year-old mare One Master to win the Group I Prix de la Foret, a race she also won
last year.
The William Haggas trained mare took the seven furlong sprint by half a length
taking her overall record to five wins from 15 starts.
"I've
been waiting a year to run her over seven furlongs on soft ground," said
William Haggas.
"I think she's got a bit quicker this year, so the plan is to go back to six
furlongs and hope for similarly testing conditions in the sprint at Ascot
(Qipco British Champions Sprint, October 19).
"Having spoken to the owners, there is a good chance she will stay in
training next year."
"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 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.
