Newmarket: Rockfel win earns Hello You berth in Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf

The Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf at Del Mar on Nov. 5 gained a potential international starter when Hello You recorded a mild upset in Friday’s Group 2 Rockfel Stakes at seven furlongs at Newmarket in England.

Hello You (who paid $15.40 in American pools) earned a fees-paid berth to the BC Juvenile Fillies Turf with a first career stakes win in the $122,900 Rockfel Stakes.

Hello You raced near the front throughout before taking the lead with a furlong remaining. Ridden by Rossa Ryan, Hello You finished 1 1/2 lengths in front of 8-1 Cachet, who is trained by George Boughey. Oscula (7-2) finished third for Boughey.

Majestic Glory, the 9-5 favorite, finished sixth of nine, beaten 6 3/4 lengths for trainer Andrew Balding. A representative of Balding’s stable told track stewards that Majestic Glory was unsuited to the good-to-firm turf and would have preferred a softer surface.

Hello You, by Invincible Spirit, races for Kia Joorabachian’s Amo Racing and trainer David Loughnane. Hello You had her first three starts for trainer Ralph Beckett and her three most recent starts for Loughnane after Joorabachian and Beckett parted ways.

Hello You, a winner of 2 of 6 starts, was second of 15 in the Group 3 Albany Stakes at Royal Ascot in June in her stakes debut. More recently, Hello You was fourth in the Group 3 Prestige Stakes at seven furlongs at Goodwood on Aug. 28.

Loughnane told the British press after the Rockfel that Hello You may start in the Group 1 Fillies’ Mile at Newmarket on Oct. 8 in advance of a trip to California.
