The family

Princess Apollo is the first foal of the 6 time winner Speedy Senorita, who raced 49 times at all distances ranging from 5 to 5½ furlongs. She raced mainly in the North, being trained first by Karl Burke, then John Quinn and finally for Jimmy Moffat.

She also has a filly by Doncaster Rover (born 2015), named Donny Belle in training with David Brown. Donny Belle has been placed 4 times from 8 starts, and races over a similar range of distances as her dam.

Speedy Senorita is the only progeny of Senora Wood to win. Senora Wood herself was a maiden but her siblings were very speedy horses. She is a half sister to half a dozen winners, the best being listed winner Smittenby.

About the sire

Mullionmileanhour (bay horse, born 2006) was trained by John Best. A winner on debut as a 2yr old, he was precocious and fast enough to run next time at Royal Ascot finishing 3rd to his stable companion Flashmans Paper (a 100-1 shot!) in the Listed Windsor Castle Stakes.
Mullionmileanhour missed the whole of the remainder of the season, and all of his next but did re-appear on the racecourse as a 4yr old. He finished 3rd in his first race, again a listed event, before running the race of his life when 2nd, beaten a short head, in another listed race over Newmarket's 6f to Equiano (now a UK based renowned sire of sprinters).
Retired to stud in 2011 after that 4yr old campaign, as a sire, Mullionmileanhour hasn't reached the same heights as Equiano, but has sired over a dozen winner on the flat at trips up to 1 mile.
The best of his progeny are Roll on Rory, a multiple winner on the flat, and Mullionheir, another multiple winner of 6 races at up to 1 mile.
Mullionmileanhour's half brother Adaay, by Kodiac, is standing at Whitsbury Manor, having won a couple of Group 2s over 6 & 7 furlongs.

Current Season Form

8 August 19 Newcastle : 6f Handicap (Class 6 OR46) standard 14 ran (Jason Hart) - 10th (beaten 7¼l)

Led on near side of group, ridden and headed over 2f out, weakened over 1f out

31 July 19 Redcar : 6f Handicap (Class 6 OR46 b1) good 16 ran (Rowan Scott (3)) - 9th (beaten 6½l)

Prominent, led over 3f out, ridden and headed entering final furlong, soon weakened

Princess Apollo broke smartly, and held every chance until inside the final furlong. Steady improvement.......

8 July 19 Ayr : 7f Apprentice Handicap (Class 6 OR45) good to firm 13 ran (Danny Redmond) - 11th (beaten 8½l)

Chased leaders, driven along over 2f out, weakened over 1f out

We tried a step up in trip for Princess Apollo and she raced prominently until weakening in the final stages.

17 June 19 Catterick : 5f Apprentice Handicap (Class 5 OR45) soft 13 ran (Andrew Breslin) - 10th (beaten 8l)

Outpaced

Princess Apollo was drawn way out on the hurdles course, and it proved difficult to land a blow.

13 May 19 Musselburgh : 5f Handicap (Class 6 OR46) good to firm 13 ran (Rowan Scott (3)) - 13th (beaten 13l)

Chased leaders to 2f out, weakened final furlong

Previous Season Form

7 November 18 Newcastle : 5f Handicap (Class 6 OR45) standard 10 ran (Rowan Scott (3)) - 9th (beaten 7l)

Chased leaders, till weakened final furlong

1 November 18 Newcastle : 6f Handicap (Class 6 OR46) standard 12 ran (Jamie Gormley (3)) - 9th (beaten 8l)

In touch 4f, outpaced final 2f

Princess Apollo was making her handicap debut in this all-weather 6f sprint. This run should bring her on after a 5 month absence from the track.

18 June 18 Carlisle : 6f Fillies' Novice Stakes (Class 5) good to firm 13 ran (Jason Hart) - 7th (beaten 14l)

Smartly away, good speed 4f, weakened over 1f out

Princess Apollo put up her best performance so far, showing some nice speed and racing prominently until tiring a wee bit in the closing stages. As her dam's race profile would suggest (see above), the filly could be best suited at 5f. Should have done enough for a handicap mark.

6 June 18 Hamilton : 6f Novice Stakes (Class 5) good 10 ran (Rowan Scott (3)) - 10th

Prominent, ridden and lost place over 2f out, soon beaten

Princess Apollo has shown some improvement on her second run. We'll hope to attain a handicap mark in the next couple of runs.

22 May 18 Ayr : 6f Maiden Fillies Stakes (Class 5) good to firm 6 ran (Jason Hart) - 6th

Reluctant to enter stalls, took keen hold, held up, ridden and outpaced over 2f out, soon weakened

Racecourse debut for this filly - at 4yrs of age - and she was quite green but will benefit from the experience. For sure, she'll be taken through the starting stalls a few times ahead of her next run, but we'd expect her to improve a wee bit over the course of her first few runs .
