Inspiral (GB)

Inspiral was Europe’s champion 2-year-old filly of 2021 on the strength of four wins in four outings, including a trio of stakes wins capped by her victory in the Group 1 Bet365 Fillies’ Mile on Oct. 8, 2021, at Newmarket. 

Trained by John and Thady Gosden for owner-breeder Cheveley Park Stud, Inspiral made her 3-year-old debut June 17, 2022, and picked up right where she’d left off the previous year with yet another victory in the Group 1 Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot. She suffered her first career defeat in her second start of 2022 in the Group 1 Tattersalls Falmouth Stakes going one mile at Newmarket on July 8, losing that day to QIPCO One Thousand Guineas runner-up Prosperous Voyage. She quickly got back on track, however, in her following outing, which was a victory over older horses in the Group 1 Prix du Haras de Fresnay-le-Buffard Jacques Le Marois on Aug. 14 at one mile at Deauville with Frankie Dettori aboard. The Jacques Le Marois is a Breeders’ Cup Challenge Series “Win and You’re In” race for the FanDuel Breeders’ Cup Mile.

Inspiral is by leading European sire Frankel out of the Selkirk mare Starscope, runner-up in the 2012 QIPCO One Thousand Guineas.
