2YO Stakes Double for Harry Angel

Tara Madgwick - Saturday Aug 15

Back at Darley NSW in Australia this spring, Harry Angel (IRE) is also progressing in his stud career with his first G1 winning son Private Harry to stand at Yulong NSW, and overnight the champion son of Dark Angel sired two new juvenile stakes-winners in the UK and Ireland.

At Newbury, the Henry Candy trained filly Angels Lane made it two wins and a second from three starts when she bolted away to win the Listed St Hugh’s Stakes (5f) by nearly three lengths.

The filly was a bargain purchase for her trainer, snapped up for just 27,000 guineas from Tattersalls October Yearling Sale Book 3.

Angels Lane is the second winner from Daisy Lane, an unraced half-sister to Group III winner Jimmy Styles from Group III winner Inya Lake.

Also successful in the Listed Firville Stakes (7f) at Cork was the Joseph O’Brien trained filly Alwaysanangel, who improved off a last start third in the Group III Duchess of Cambridge Stakes to score her first stakes win.

She scored by a length and three-quarters against a very competitive field and has now won two from three.

Alwaysanangel holds entries for upcoming Group races including the G1 Cheveley Park Stakes.

She was purchased this year from the Tattersalls Breeze Up Sale for 75,000 guineas by Blandford Bloodstock.

Alwaysanangel is the best of five winners from unraced Totasiyah, a half-sister to stakes-winner Junia Tepzia from the family of Group I winners Foostepsinthesand and Pedro the Great.

Harry Angel (IRE)

Angels Lane and Alwaysanangel bring Harry Angel to 24 lifetime stakes-winners and his three G1 winners to date have all come in Australia.

As a result his fee here is $88,000 this spring while in the UK he stood for just £10,000 in 2026.
