Euro Charline on her way back to England

Under Botti, Euro Charline finished second by a half-length in the Nell Gywn

Stakes at Newmarket in her Team Valor debut in April and an unlucky third in the

Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot before breaking through for a win in the

Valiant Stakes at Ascot.

In the 9 1/2-furlong Beverly D., the bay filly stretched out beyond a mile

for the first time and dispatched three horses who would go on to win Grade 1

races in their next starts. Two of them, Flower Bowl winner Stephanie's Kitten

and E.P. Taylor winner Just the Judge, would continue on to finish second and

third, respectively, in the Breeders' Cup Filly and Mare Turf.

The Team Valor partnership that campaigns Euro Charline decided in

mid-October to send her back to Europe to continue her career, with the $6

million Dubai Duty Free at Meydan as a possible goal.
