Celestial Orbit

“She came over from Ollie Sangster and he said Celestial Orbit was very talented but we'd have to find ground as heavy as possible. She wasn't getting that very often last season and it was brutal conditions today, she really thrived. We'll have a chat with the guys and see but Celestial Orbit was potentially in for a cover this spring, so whether that will change, we'll discuss and see - Joseph O'Brien, trainer.”

“We're delighted with that as Celestial Orbit has been off a while. She should take another step forward from this and she's in the French and English Guineas so we'll make a plan - Ollie Sangster, trainer.”

“We've always liked Celestial Orbit and were just hoping for a piece of the prize-money against some well-fancied horses so for her to win is great. She was an expensive yearling so we're pleased she's managed to pick up some black type. She's laid-back and only does enough in her work but the racing has switched her on and she's done well physically throughout the season. She saw the stiff seven furlongs out well and I think she'll continue to improve. One of the first things Jamie said when he came in is that she should improve over a mile but obviously there aren't many of those races for a bit. She's in the Group 2 Prix du Calvados in August, while the Prestige Stakes could be an option but we'll wait to see how she comes out of this - Ollie Sangster, trainer.”
