1,000 Guineas star Desert Flower ‘the best filly we’ve had’ says Charlie Appleby

Desert Flower deployed her powerful stride to keep everything rosy in Godolphin’s garden when giving Charlie Appleby and William Buick a first triumph in the Betfred 1,000 Guineas. As for ticking off another Classic from the bucket list, Appleby said: “It’s been amazing. It took us long enough to win a Guineas with the colts and people have been asking where the fillies were, but we’ve found one now and she’s the best we’ve had. I see no reason why she can’t step up in trip.”
