Fleeting Arrow is thus the winner of three juvenile
races. He was pretty unlucky in the Gr 1 Poonawalla
Breeders’ Multi-Million at Mumbai as the luck of the
race went against him despite which he finished less
than six lengths behind the winner Autonomy.
Fleeting Arrow was ridden in fine fashion by visiting
French jockey Samuel Fargeat who had the fancied
runner within striking distance of the front-running
Rare And Precious and Archipenko despite being drawn
on the wide outside. Fleeting Arrow came up with a
good burst of speed to edge out Archipenko close home
to record a facile win.
Sabre Dance, the dam of Fleeting Arrow, won three
races at 2 to 4 including the Gr 3 Castrol Calcutta
Oaks. All the three horses foaled by her thus far
which have raced namely Peace Prize, Scimitar and
Fleeting Arrow have proved to be talented and are
winners. Scimitar has also placed in Gr 2 Golconda
2000 Guineas.
