Cachet storms to 1000 Victory

2nd May, 2022

Cachet, a 60,000 Guineas purchase at last years Newmarket breeze up sale, gave owners of the Wild Flower syndicate a day they will never forget by making all to win the 1000 Guineas.

While she may have been a surprise winner to some pundits, she was the pick of the paddock and bounced into an early lead and was soon in a beautiful rhythm on her home track where she seems to be at her best having already won here on two previous occasions, the latest when she took the Nell Gwyn in emphatic style. She had a number of her rivals off the bridle some way from home but the last furlong seemed to go on forever as this incredibly tough and genuine filly held off all challengers to win by a neck.

This victory is right up there with HIghclere’s greatest successes of the past, including our first classic success when Petrushka won the Irish Oaks in 2000 and once again demonstrates that syndicates can compete with the very best in racing.
