Andre Fabre’s Usherette on track for the Sun Chariot Stakes at Newmarket racecourse on Saturday
Fabre won the race two years ago and he is back again with Usherette set to run in Saturday's Group 1 contest at Newmarket
ANDRE FARBRE'S Usherette is on track for a crack at the Kingdom Of Bahrain Sun Chariot Stakes at Newmarket on Saturday.
Fabre claimed the Group 1 prize with Esoterique two years ago and has high hopes for this year's challenger.
The Godolphin-owned five-year-old won the Duke of Cambridge Stakes at Royal Ascot last year and was a close-up third when defending her crown in June.
Fabre said: ";Usherette will run on Saturday and then hopefully she will go to Del Mar for the Breeders' Cup.
