Guy O'Callaghan's Grangemore Stud have a live Classic contender on their hands as Lola De Valence (Havana Grey) causes an upset in Newmarket's G3 Godolphin Lifetime Care Oh So Sharp Stakes on Friday.Stepping up to this seven furlongs for the first time, the homebred who had been fourth last time in Fairyhouse's Blenheim Stakes needed all of the trip to get up under Saffie Osborne and deny Cheveley Park's Sweltering (Palace Pier) and Highclere Thoroughbred Racing's Topaz (Persian Force) by a neck and a head.“I was hoping that she would finish in the first four, as we do think a lot of this filly,” trainer Rod Millman said. “She won her maiden well, then we ran her in the Dick Poole but the ground was soft and she got stuck in it. She went to Fairyhouse, she missed the break and she had to come the whole way around the field and ended up being the fastest finisher in the race, so you could mark that run up.”“We are only a little yard, but if we get the right horse we can do it,” he added. “I'd say that would probably be her done for the season. She would get a penalty in the Bosra Sham back here, but we will probably come back for the 1,000 Guineas as she has just won a Group Three. We will see what Guy wants to do, but I imagine he will want to come back here.”A 40/1 turn-up in the G3 Oh So Sharp Stakes Another big-race winner for @OsborneSaffie @millmanracing https://t.co/jIeWkgwUxV— Racing TV (@RacingTV) October 9, 2026Pedigree NotesLola De Valence's dam Sacred Dance (Sea The Stars) is a half-sister to Awesometank (Intense Focus), who was successful in two Listed contests and was runner-up in the Beverly D.
