Group Performer for Chapel Royal

14th September 2008

Young sire Chapel Royal posted his first Group race performer on Saturday when Advice (2c Chapel Royal x Word o’ Wisdom, by Hennessy) finished a close third in the Group Three Arlington-Washington Futurity.

A brilliant winner on debut for the Todd Pletcher stable when he won by eight lengths at Arlington back in July, Advice was second past the post in this Group Three assignment, but was relegated to third following a protest against he and the original winner Jose Adan.

A $170,000 purchase from the Ocala Bloodstock February Sale for two year-olds, Advice is raced by WinStar Farm and is the third foal and third winner for the Hennessy mare Words O’Wisdom, a half-sister to Group Three winner Polonius and stakes-winner Witten being from the Red Ransom stakes-winner Word O’Ransom.
