Another Stakes-Winner for New Approach
Tara Madgwick - Sunday, 24 June 2012

Darley based English Derby winner New Approach (IRE) has made every post a winner at Royal Ascot this week siring his third stakes-winner of the meeting overnight when the Goldolphin runner Tha'Ir captured the Listed Chesham Stakes over seven furlongs.

An athletic bay colt with a prominent white blaze, Tha'Ir (pictured Caroline Searcy) was patiently ridden by Frankie Dettori, settling behind runners before weaving his way into the clear over the final furlong to win by a couple of lengths.



It was his second win from just three starts and stamps the Saeed bin Suroor trained Tha 'Ir as a promising stayer of the future.

"The further he was going the better he was winning and he is a nice horse for the future," Dettori said.

Godolphin racing manager Simon Crisford added: "That was fantastic and what a week for New Approach. I am really excited. It has been a fantastic week for the team and I am really pleased."

Purchased for 105,000 euros by John Ferguson Bloodstock at the 2011 Goffs Sale from the draft of Lodge Park Stud, Tha I'r is a half-brother to stakes-winners Flash Dance and Flashing Colour being one of six winners from the Green Desert mare Flashing Green, whose grand-dam is influential mare Reprocolor.

He is the third stakes-winner for New Approach(pictured) , who has been in red hot form this week with Dawn Approach and Newfangled also saluting at Royal Ascot in Group events.

The oldest Australian progeny by New Approach are yearlings and have sold this year for up $475,000.

The champion son of Galileo winner returns to Darley Victoria this spring at a fee of $33,000.
