A debut second behind subsequent G3 Albany S. scorer Kiyoshi (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) at Goodwood last May, she was second to her talented stablemate Wedding Ring (Ire) (Oasis Dream {GB}) two weeks later at Newmarket before finishing third in Royal Ascot=s Listed Chesham S. Godolphin persevered at stakes level with Ihtimal, and that move paid off when she broke her maiden in Newmarket=s G3 Sweet Solera S. Aug. 10, followed by a victory in the G2 May Hill S. at Doncaster Sept. 13. She was a highly respectable third in the G1 Fillies Mile to wrap up her juvenile campaign Sept. 27, and made a successful switch to the Meydan Tapeta to take the Listed UAE 1000 Guineas off more than four months rest Feb. 6. With yesterday=s field comprised entirely of runners who finished behind Ihtimal in the Guineas, it was widely expected that she would win again, and she responded with a fantastic show. Guineas placegetters Feedyah and Mensoora once again hit the board last night, but in reverse order from three weeks ago. Magroora was a late scratch after rearing violently in the starting gate. While Paddy Power left Ihtimal unchanged at 12-1 for the 1000 Guineas, Coral cut her to 10-1 from 14-1. Bin Suroor noted that the G2 UAE Derby on the Dubai World Cup undercard Mar. 29 could be a target for Ihtimal.
