Shanghai Lily collected some Classic quotes after gaining a smooth success on her debut at Newbury yesterday as Kieren Fallon notched up four winners at the Berkshire track.
The two-year-old filly, trained by Sir Michael Stoute, unveiled top-drawer potential when taking the first division of the maiden fillies' stakes. It was the first leg of a four-timer that took Fallon back into the lead in the jockeys' title race.
Shanghai Lily (3-1) was introduced as a 33-1 chance by Coral for next season's 1,000 Guineas, while Paddy Power offer her at 25-1 for both that Classic and the Oaks.
A daughter of Stoute's 2,000 Guineas winner King's Best and bought by Cheveley Park Stud in Ireland last year for €300,000, she led entering the final quarter-mile and quickened away to beat fellow debutante Ruby Wine by four lengths.
Chris Richardson, the racing manager for Cheveley Park Stud, said: "She looked really nice and we're pretty pleased."
* Mary Reveley has announced her retirement after 22 years and 2,011 winners. The Cleveland-based trainer will hand over on 23 August to her son and long-serving assistant, Keith, a month before her 64th birthday.
