Samitar landed the big pot she richly deserved in the £300,000 Tattersalls Millions 2yo Fillies' Trophy on Saturday 1st October.

Winner of the Albany Stakes at Royal Ascot before missing out by a head in a similar event to this on the July course, Mick Channon's filly had since been placed in both the May Hill Stakes and the Fillies' Mile.
The last-named race was just a over a week ago, and the daughter of Rock Of Gibraltar showed her tough constitution in racing handily throughout before digging in to see off Hazel Lavery by a length and a quarter, without Sam Hitchcott having to get overly serious.
Channon's son, also Mick, said of the 5-4 favourite: "We know the family well as we have trained many of her half-brothers and sisters - all of them thrive on racing.
"She is great as she is so versatile and can run from the front and the back, and Sam knows her well as he rides her at home, so he gave her a great race today. She looks the type to go for the Guineas next year."
