Dar Re Mi set York target

DAR RE MI takes to the stage for the first time this season in a small field for the totepool Middleton Stakes at York.

John Gosden decided to send Lord Lloyd-Webber’s filly to France for many of her runs last year and she won a Group Two and finished second to the great Zarkava in the Prix Vermeille.

The four-year-old also occupied the same position behind Lush Lashes in the Yorkshire Oaks. Despite being a valuable broodmare already, she is out to capitalise on the decent prizes on offer to older fillies and mares – although connections are just using this as a starting point.
