Last year's triple Oaks heroine and Arc runner-up Minnie Hauk (Frankel) had tried and failed in five starts since bagging May's Listed Mooresbridge on seasonal return this term and collected a fourth victory at the highest level as Ballydoyle executed tactics to perfection in Saturday's G1 G1 Qatar Racing British Champions Fillies & Mares at Ascot.The 5-1 chance occupied the ideal slot for the most part and tracked stablemate Sugar Island (Dubawi) until looming large off the home turn. Inching ahead with a quarter-mile remaining, she refused to surrender her advantage and was driven out in the closing stages to comfortably hold Believed (Frankel) and Lilt (Lope De Vega) by 1 1/2 lengths and a neck.Sugar Island kept on gamely once headed and finished fourth, while Juddmonte's defending champion Kalpana (Study Of Man) never threatened and finished seventh. Pedigree NotesMinnie Hauk, one of her sire's 43 Group 1 winners, is the sixth of eight foals and leading performer from three winners out of a full-sister to G3 Tercentenary-winning sire Remote (Dansili).The winner is a half-sister to the dual Group-winning G1 Prix d'Ispahan runner-up Tilsit (First Defence) and a yearling filly by Justify.Her dam Multilingual (Dansili) is also kin to multiple Group 1-winning sire Kingman (Invincible Spirit) out of G1 Poule d'Essai des Pouliches-winning matriarch Zenda (Zamindar).Zenda, who is a half-sister to the multiple Group 1-winning sire Oasis Dream (Green Desert), is also the dam of the Group 3-placed duo First Eleven (Frankel) and Sunray Major (Dubawi).
