Faiyum (GB)

Faiyum made her racecourse debut in March of her three-year-old season, posting a two and three-quarter length victory in a Naas Fillies Maiden race over a mile. She backed this up with another win two months later at Killarney again with an impressive winning margin of two and a half lengths.

She made her blacktype debut in the the Gr.3 Jannah Rose Stakes at Naas in June where she ran second to subsequent Group 2 winner Barnevara. Her next target was the Gr.3 Denny Cordell Lavarack and Lanwades Stud Stakes at Gowran Park in mid-September. She went into the race as the hot favourite and did not disappoint, demolishing the field and hitting the line seven lengths ahead of runner-up Higher Leaves.

Faiyum is the third winner and first blacktype winner for Pivotal mare Quail. Quail was purchased a yearling from Tattersalls October Book 1 in 2026.
