Tasaday wins the Gr.3 Prix des Réservoirs

Tasaday, a two-year-old Nayef filly who is considered one of the best juvenile fillies in France, maintained her unbeaten record when adding the Gr.3 Prix des Réservoirs to her two earlier victories over a mile at Chantilly.

Having been ridden with just hands and heels, Tasaday lengthened her stride and won with something in hand, scoring a hat-trick over a mile in the process.

Well-bred Tasaday is the first foal out of Tashelka, who was sold by the Aga Khans Studs at the 2007 Arqana Mixed February Sale as a three-year-old for €17,000 before picking up that year's Gr.3 Prix De La Nonette and Gr.3 Prix Fille De L'Air. She in turn is a half-sister to Listed winner Tashkandi, out of a Group-placed daughter of Gr.3 Princess Royal Stakes winner Tashtiya.

Bred and owned by Darley, and trained by André Fabre, Godolphin's racing manager Simon Crisford said: "She won well and is progressive. She's a nice filly for 2013."
