"Aylin outpaces competitors dramatically according to data, as Al Shaqab envisions triumph in the Classic"
In a thrilling race at Goodwood last month, Precise emerged victorious in the Group 3 Prestige Stakes, narrowly beating Aylin, a 14th contender for the upcoming bet365 Fillies' Mile. Aylin, trained by Karl Burke and managed by Alison Begley for Al Shaqab, put up a valiant fight but ultimately fell short by three-quarters of a length.
The bet365 Fillies' Mile, set to take place at Newmarket on October 10, has a strong lineup of contenders, with Precise leading the way as the favourite. Aylin, however, is not far behind, with odds of 14.00. The race's outcome will undoubtedly be influenced by the ground conditions and race details.
Karl Burke has always held Aylin in high regard, praising her performance in the May Hill Stakes, where she defeated Pacific Mission by the same margin as her loss to Precise. Alison Begley, too, has expressed excitement about Aylin's potential for next year's Classics.
Aylin's stablemate, Composing, was among the rivals Precise overcame in the Moyglare Stud Stakes, a Group 1 race that Precise won three days after Aylin's victory in the May Hill Stakes. This impressive performance suggests that Aylin could perform well over distances longer than a mile.
The Al Shaqab team has potential targets for Aylin beyond the bet365 Fillies' Mile, including the Qatar Prix Marcel Boussac at Longchamp. Another horse from the Al Shaqab team, Andab, is being prepared for the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf at Del Mar on October 31. Andab had a busy start to the season and is currently being freshened up for the Breeders' Cup.
Simmering, another horse from the Al Shaqab team, is likely to run in the Grade 1 First Lady Stakes at Keeneland on October 4, provided the ground is suitable. The data suggests that the Al Shaqab stallions, including Sea The Stars, Mehmas, and Oasis Dream, could produce offspring that compete in major races like the bet365 Fillies' Mile, First Lady Stakes, or Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf in autumn 2021.
Karl Burke is pleased with Aylin's performance and is keeping her in good condition for upcoming Group 1 races. A decision about which race Aylin will compete in has not been made yet. Aylin's current odds for next year's Betfred 1,000 Guineas and Oaks stand at 25-1, indicating that there is still much anticipation surrounding this promising filly.
