Overview

• Nineteen-year-old Billy Loughnane rode Rebel’s Romance to victory in Sunday’s Grosser Preis von Berlin at Hoppegarten for his first Group 1 success.
• The seven-year-old horse, trained by Charlie Appleby, remains unbeaten in four German starts and captured an eighth top-level prize.
• Rebel’s Romance has now earned over £11 million in prize money and is 5-1 joint-second favourite for the Breeders’ Cup Turf at Del Mar in November.
• The win followed El Cordobes’s Grade 1 Sword Dancer Stakes triumph at Saratoga, sealing a transatlantic mile-and-a-half double for Godolphin.
• Connections are now considering a late-season campaign that could include the Canadian International and a return to the Breeders’ Cup Turf.
