Folgaria Stakes Impressive Win for Botti’s Italian Racing Standard-Bearer

Folgaria, the daughter of Due Diligence, made an impressive UK debut in the Fred Darling Stakes, beating Regal Jubilee by a neck under the hands of Hollie Doyle. Trained by Marco Botti in Newmarket, Folgaria has a 100% record in her two-year-old season in Italy and is expected to continue her success throughout the campaign. The win marked a welcome tonic for the Botti operation after the tragic loss of jockey Stefano Cherchi in Australia. Folgaria is now being targeted for the Poule d’Essai des Pouliches at ParisLongchamp on May 19, where the opportunity to race around a bend is seen as a key factor in her selection over the British equivalent.
