Nazeef too strong in Falmouth

Nazeef made it six wins in a row when proving best in Friday’s Gr1 Falmouth Stakes (10f).

Terebellum started favourite and led for much of the trip but was worn down inside the final furlong by Nazeef (pic: Newmarket Racecourses) who defeated Billesdon Brook (Champs Elysees) by a neck at the finish with Terebellum (Sea The Stars) close up third in the field of six.

A four-year-old daughter of Invincible Spirit, Nazeef has won on all six of her starts since finishing third last June on debut at Newmarket.

Jockey Jim Crowley told ITV he planned to follow Frankie Dettori on Terebellum.

“The only pace in the race really was Frankie’s filly,” Crowley said.

“She’d won over 10 furlongs and all the others looked like they were going to take a lead. I had a great position in a small field and managed to get a bit of cover.

“She’s as tough as nails and she’s improved with every run. That’s six races in a row she’s won now – she’s climbed her way up the ladder.”
