Malabar lands the G3 Prestige Stakes
Raven's Pass continued his fine run with his juveniles this season on Saturday August 23 when his daughter Malabar ran out the impressive winner of the G3 Prestige Stakes at Goodwood. Making her fourth career start, she boasted impressive credentials coming into today's contest having been an excellent fourth in G3 Albany Stakes at Royal Ascot before breaking her Maiden in course record time at Ascot in July.
Bred by Woodcote Stud Ltd, Malabar is out of the Stakes mare Whirly Bird, a half sister to two Stakes winners and granddaughter of Inchmurrin. Already the dam of four winners including Teofilo's multiple scorer Clowance Estate, Whirly Bird also has a yearling colt from the first-crop of Poet's Voice.
Malabar becomes Raven's Pass' third Stakes winning juvenile of the season, a figure no other stallion in Europe can beat, after Chesham hero Richard Pankhurst and Sandown's Star Stakes winner Alonsoa.
