No Nay Never’s Libertango Storms Home For Albany Glory

Wait 5 sec.

Adding more lustre to a memorable week for George Boughey and Billy Loughnane, Libertango (No Nay Never) swooped to take Friday's G3 Albany Stakes from under the nose of Ballydoyle's hot favourite Sun Goddess (Sioux Nation).Still with plenty to do as that 10-11 market-leader moved towards the front approaching the final furlong, Vefa Ibrahim Araci's 400,000gns Tattersalls Craven Breeze-Up purchase who had scored on debut at Leicester flew late to overwhelm the TDN Rising Star and score by a length. Wathnan's Light Of Dawn (Showcasing) was the same margin back in third.“She had shown a lot since she came to us–we were underbidder on her as a yearling and so keen to get her at the Breeze-Ups,” Boughey said of the 6-1 shot who like Great Barrier Reef on Tuesday came from a seemingly disadvantageous stall in three. “Billy gave her a beautiful ride and although she was one of the fastest at the Breeze-Up, she is bred to get further. I wanted to keep her at six for now and she was able to pull it off. It's great to have winner for Mr Araci, he's a great supporter of British racing.”With this win No Nay Never is confirmed one of the Kings of Royal Ascot, with three winners from the three races he has had representation in this week.Billy Loughnane and George Boughey do it again!
