Godolphin have a very exciting prospect in New Approach’s juvenile son Masar after he easily landed the G3 Solario Stakes at Sandown Park. Coming into the race on the back of a third in the Listed Chesham Stakes at Royal Ascot, he was not fully stretched to record a two-length triumph. He holds entries in all the top seven-furlong and mile juvenile races in Britain and Ireland over the next few months.
Masar hails from one of the best families in the studbook. His dam is the Champion racemare Khawlah (Cape Cross), winner of the UAE Derby and Oaks, and third dam the multiple Classic-placed Melikah, who is the dam of record-breaking Masterstroke and Irish Group winner Moonlight Magic. Melikah is a daughter of the great Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe winner Urban Sea who has produced two of the all time greats in Galileo and Sea The Stars. Khawlah also has a Shamardal yearling colt and has been tested in foal to Dubawi this season.
Masar is from New Approach’s stellar 2015 crop, his first after Dawn Approach and Talent's Classic victories. From eight runners so far he also has the highly rated Stakes winner Hey Gaman, the Stakes-placed Cascadian, who went close in the Listed Prix Francois Boutin on his second start and the unbeaten New Show.
