Racing TV published this video item, entitled “Fortuna favours the brave! Breeders’ Cup awaits Cheveley Park heroine Porta Fortuna” – below is their description.
Porta Fortuna (9/2) landed thhe Juddmonte Cheveley Park Stakes at Newmarket, handing Donnacha O’Brien the honour of being the first person to ride and train a winner of the prestigious six-furlong Group One prize. In his earlier career as a jockey, O’Brien won the contest aboard Fairyland (2018).
Partnered today by Oisin Murphy, the two year daughter of Caravaggio went to the front approaching the final furlong and lengthened impressively to take the honours by a length and a half from the staying-on Pearls And Rubies (33-/1) with longtime leader Sacred Angel (13/2) another head away in third.
Donnacha O’Brien said: “She is a smart filly. That is the first time she has had proper quick ground since Ascot, and she seems to be a lot better on it back to six (furlongs). She is a very good filly. I think she is fine at seven, but I think ground is important to her as she seems to be a lot better on better ground as she travels and quickens.
“She hit the line strong, and the plan is to go to the Breeders’ Cup and that is a mile. We think there is every chance she will get that as well.”
