Victorious Forever's 900,000gns Craven Breeze-Up Sale topper Senorita Bonita (Starspangledbanner) entered the mix for this year's Royal Ascot meeting after securing a last-gasp triumph in Wednesday's British Stallion Studs EBF Maiden Fillies' Stakes at Nottingham.The straight five-furlong dash has been annexed by a trio of Karl Burke Royal Ascot-bound contenders in recent years.“Midway through the race, it wasn't looking good,” said Simon Crisford. “We couldn't get the cover that we wanted and I think she's had to do it the hard way. Her turn of foot was exceptional, fast ground will suit her really well and I think she's a filly with plenty of improvement to come. I'd be really enthusiastic about her chances from midsummer onwards.”Sent off as the 10-11 favourite, the Simon and Ed Crisford trainee was caught on the wing through the early strides. Racing greenly and educated into contention by Oisin Murphy once past halfway, she took her time to find top gear and, when doing so, fairly flew home inside the final half-furlong to nail Fast Track (Blue Point) by a short-head on the line. 900,000gns buy Senorita Bonita (Starspangledbanner) makes a winning debut @NottsRacecourse pic.twitter.com/gD30Y1s445— Racing TV (@RacingTV) June 3, 2026The post Starspangledbanner’s 900K Craven Breeze-Up Sensation Senorita Bonita Swoops Late for Nottingham Debut Success appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
