Princesse d'Orange

Trained by David O'Meara at Upper Helmsley in North Yorkshire—a yard that has already sent out 101 winners this season alone—she is working in an operation with a strong record. O'Meara clearly sees genuine potential in the filly, describing her as a "very nice" prospect with a future at top level. That Beverley win came without any fuss on her debut, which is always a positive sign, though the subsequent Listed Marygate Stakes at York saw the race play out in a way that did not suit her. The trainer believes she can bounce back from setbacks like that and sees her as a filly capable of winning better races down the line, whether on faster ground like York or at prestigious venues like Ascot. At two years old with just six races behind her, Princesse d'Orange is still very much a work in progress—but the pedigree of her yard and the early glimpses of quality suggest there may be more to come.
