👑 FALLEN ANGEL, the Iron Lady
A commanding victory for FALLEN ANGEL!
With a final time of 1’35’’10, she not only clocked a blistering run 💨, but also recorded the 5th-fastest time in Prix Rothschild history since 1980 📚!
And that’s not all: with a lightning-quick break ⚡ (fastest reaction time from the stalls), the KR Burke trainee took position in the lead group right from the start and never left the top two, setting the pace at an average of 60.9 km/h.
From the 1400m to the 200m mark, she maintained a steady rhythm between 62.9 and 63.8 km/h — a goldsmith’s precision performance 💎.

🥈 JANUARY: Section Record, but an Unshakable Rival
Flawless run from JANUARY. Sitting back in 8th place midway through the race (6.23m behind the leader), she posted the fastest section from the 400m to 200m: 11’’04! 🕒
Add to that the best final 600 meters in the field, and you’ve got a heroic effort… but she ran into a granite wall named Fallen Angel 🪨.

🔥 START OF DAY, Fiery Finish!
Some defeats feel like victories. START OF DAY was dead last out of the gates and still near the back 800m from the post. But in a thunderous final, she passed 10 runners in 600 meters, eating up ground with astonishing ease 🏃♀️💨.
One to closely watch… especially over longer distances 🔍.
🚀 PINTA, the Missile of the Pack
The award for top speed goes to PINTA, who hit an incredible 66.46 km/h ⚙️ in a straight-line burst.
However, that speed surge wasn’t enough to break into the top finishers.
