Aga Khan's Blue Point Filly Rayevka Lights Up Chantilly
Author:

Chantilly's card on Monday featured some promising juveniles and none more so than the Aga Khan's filly Rayevka (Ire) (Blue Point {Ire}–Rayisa {Ire}, by Holy Roman Emperor {Ire}) lit up the six-furlong fillies' conditions event with a scintillating display to become her sire's fourth TDN Rising Star. Narrowly denied on debut by Juddmonte's Better Together (GB) (Oasis Dream {GB}) at Deauville last month, the Francis-Henri Graffard-trained homebred was in command from the outset strong in the hands of Maxime Guyon.

Never in any danger out on her own, the 1-2 favourite was able to register a five-length success from another Juddmonte newcomer in Arctic Summer (GB) (Bated Breath {GB}). Her final two splits were an impressive 10.89 and 11.01 and her final three furlongs were completed in 33.56, all in hand. The dam Rayisa was a smart juvenile for Mick Halford, beating Snowfall's dam Best In The World (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) in her maiden before finishing third behind that blueblood in the Listed Staffordstown Stud Stakes.
