Rainbow Peak Notches First Group 1 Victory

Rainbow Peak withstood the challenge of Lord Chaparral to notch his first group I victory in the Gran Premio del Jockey Club at San Siro Oct. 17.

Patiently handled by jockey Neil Callan, Rainbow Peak was settled in mid-pack as local runner Lord Chaparral led the field of nine along at a steady gallop.  Godolphin’s Cavalryman tracked the leader closely from third, as German group I heroine, Night Magic, raced in fourth.

Lord Chaparral continued to show the way under Mirco Demuro as the field entered the home straight, moving two lengths clear of the field.  With just over two furlongs left to run, Rainbow Peak launched his bid, charging down the center of the course under a strong drive by Callan.
