Duntle to aim for Group One win

Duntle is to stay in training next year as she seeks to register a Group One success.

The David Wachman-trained filly has sealed victories in Group Two and Three contests and was even first past the post at the top level in the Matron Stakes at Leopardstown in September 2012, but she was demoted to second place following a stewards’ inquiry.

This season she gained her Group Two triumph in the Duke of Cambridge Stakes at Royal Ascot and has been placed in two Group One races.

“I think we are going to keep her on again next year and try to win that elusive Group One which is good,” Wachman told At The Races.

“She did win one but lost it in the stewards’ room. Maybe she can win one and they let her keep it.

“She’s eligible for Group Twos. I suppose it will be Ascot again and then we’ll try to find a Group One after that.”

Meanwhile, Toronado could go for the Breeders’ Cup Mile after missing the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes at Ascot because of soft ground.

While stablemate Olympic Glory, who lifted Saturday’s Group One for the Richard Hannon stable, is a possible for Santa Anita on November 2, Toronado is also under consideration, with both horses owned by Sheikh Joaan AL Thani.
