LONDON: Ante-post gamble Santa Barbara features among 16 fillies left in the Qipco 1000 Guineas at Newmarket on Sunday.
Aidan O’Brien’s daughter of Camelot has only been seen on a racetrack once in her life, when making a winning debut at the Curragh in September.
The Ballydoyle handler has been effusive in his praise of the filly in the build up to the race, describing her in a stable tour as “looking like a five-year-old colt” and that her work had been sparkling.
O’Brien also has Queen’s Speech, Mother Earth and Snowfall, while son Joseph could have the biggest danger in Pretty Gorgeous. The latter enjoyed a fruitful season last year, culminating in victory in the Fillies’ Mile at Newmarket.

Hugo Palmer trained Acquitted is another entry with strong early-season form, having gone down by a neck in the Spring Mile, a consolation race for the Lincoln, at Doncaster on March 27.
The four-year-old won two of his three starts as a juvenile and pushed Palace Pier all the way on his three-year-old return at Newcastle in June, although he failed to repeat that form in two subsequent outings last term.
