Star Catcher rounded her campaign off with victory from the Qipco British Champions Fillies & Mares Stakes.
John Gosdens filly was a maiden at the onset of the year, with finished sixth on her only juvenile beginning in Chelmsford.
But a good case can now be created for her being the best middle-distance filly of her creation after adding this Group One prize to her sooner big-race wins this year at the Ribblesdale at Royal Ascot, the Irish Oaks at the Curragh and the Prix Vermeille at Paris.
Together with Frankie Dettori in the saddle, the daughter of Sea The Stars was the preferred to offer her Anthony Oppenheimer.
It wasnt all plain sailing for the industry leader because she had been hard at the office halfway up the home right – and was briefly short of room later Sun Maiden drifted round the track, leaving Star Catcher the meat in the sandwich between her and Delphinia contrary to the far rail.
Gosdens charge rallied courageously, however, getting the better of Delphinia together with Sun Maiden third along with also the luckless Fleeting later encountering traffic issues, fourth, by a head.
Dettori was making it winner number 18 in Group 1 level this season, also bounced back after defeat for Stradivarius from the Long Distance Cup.
He said:Obviously Im still somewhat sour about Stradivarius, but the ground is somewhat worse than we ever thought. I have gone about smiling in 30 minutes, from crying.
Shes lovely, shes hard – I think shes staying in practice, using a bit of chance, and she is a terrific filly.
Shes provided me with my 250th Group One and 18th this season, so I adore her.
