Darn Hot Gallop gets green light for Guineas bid Darn Hot Gallop will put her unbeaten record on the line in the Betfred 1000 Guineas at Newmarket next weekend. Winner of her first two starts on the all-weather at Wolverhampton and Newcastle in November, James Tate’s filly successfully switched to turf to complete her hat-trick when winning a handicap over the Guineas course and distance at the Craven meeting. The Jaber Abdullah-owned daughter of Too Darn Hot has an eyecatching pedigree as she is out of a Group Three and Group Two-placed mare in Contribution, whose dam Concentric produced the great Enable. Unbeaten Prospect To Test Classic Credentials Tate said: “She’s been very well since the Craven meeting, she’s three from three and we’ll see what she can do in the Guineas. “She is proven over course and distance now and came out of that race very well. She doesn’t over-exert herself at home or worry about anything. Whether she is good enough is another matter, but we will give it our best shot. “In all honesty we don’t know where her ceiling is. She’s always worked nicely and always won her races with a little bit in hand. “She’s a half-sister to a Group Three winner (Agave) and out of a sister to Enable, so who knows?”
