The ebullient Frankie Dettori has been booked to partner the
appropriately named recent pattern race winner, Laugh Out Loud, in the Group 1
Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot, on Friday, and looks sure to be amongst the
principals, in what is shaping up to be a hot race, writes Elliot Slater.
A good horse always wins the one-mile contest for
three-year-old fillies and, whilst she will certainly be facing her stiffest
task to date, Mick Channon’s charge, a favourite on the Betfair Horses website,
is undoubtedly going the right way.
Dettori is reportedly delighted to have the opportunity to
get the best out of her at the Berkshire track. The West Ilsey-based trainer
looks to have a particularly strong hand in the race, with his recent Irish
1000 Guineas winner, Samitar (Martin Harley), also likely to be given the green
light to take her chance.
Laugh Out Loud, a daughter of Clodovil, only made her
racecourse bow in January of this year, when running a promising second at
Wolverhampton, after which she followed up with back-to-back victories on the
Polytrack at Kempton.
Thrown in very much at the deep end on her turf debut in the
Qipco 1000 Guineas, the filly was far from disgraced in finishing eighth behind
Homecoming Queen, and showed the benefit of that experience when justifying
favouritism at York’s Dante fixture in the listed Michael Seeley Memorial
Stakes over a mile on the Knavesmire.
Channon decided to strike while the iron was hot, and sent
Laugh Out Loud over to France for her sixth outing of the season, where she
made most of the running and quickened in style approaching the final furlong to
beat Mashoora by two lengths in the Group 2 Prix de Sandringham at Chantilly.
That performance entitles the 30,000 guineas purchase to
plenty of respect in the Coronation Stakes line-up.
