Amtiyaz impressive in victory at Newcastle
26 October 2020
Blue Diamond Stud homebred Amtiyaz got off the mark in impressive style for John Gosden on Monday with an easy win at Newcastle under our retained jockey Hollie Doyle.
Placed on two of his previous starts, Amtiyaz was always prominent under Doyle and after taking up the running two furlongs out, strode clear for an easy four-length score from the winning Utile.
Amtiyaz has shown progressive form since making his debut back in the summer and should make up into a fine stayer next season.
His victory means that his dam, Rose Of Miracles, is off to the perfect start at stud. By Frankel, Amtiyaz is the first foal out of the mare, who is a Dalakhani relation to the great Goldikova and her Group 1-winning half-sister Galikova. It is also the excellent Wertheimer family of Group 3 winners Gold Sound and Gold Round in addition to the Grade 1-placed miler and sire Anodin.
Rose Of Miracles has a two-year-old filly by Dansili named Najeeba, who is in training with Roger Charlton, and a colt foal by Siyouni. She visited our multiple Group 1 winner Decorated Knight this season.
