CHARLIE Johnston found a lovely race this week for the Lordship Stud-bred two-year-old Carolina Reaper, and the daughter of Too Darn Hot (Dubawi) proved to be too good for her rivals as she won the 150th running of the Group 3 Zukunfts-Rennen, run in honour of Renate and Albrecht Woeste.

This is the third group winner for Too Darn Hot with his first crop of runners, an achievement at this stage of the year that has not happened for any other first-season sire in the past 20 years. On Thursday afternoon, at ParisLongchamp, Godolphin’s homebred filly Bauhinia, another by the Dalham Hall Stud resident, earned rave reviews when demonstrating an impressive turn of foot to land the one-mile Prix de Cascade. André Fabre’s charge holds an entry in the Group 1 Prix Marcel Boussac.
