Chorist (horse)

[7] Sixteen days later the filly started 6/1 favourite under a weight of 119 pounds for the Sandringham Handicap at Royal Ascot and finished second to the John Dunlop-trained Tashawak.

She ended her season in the Group 2 Sun Chariot Stakes at Newmarket on 2 October when she briefly led three furlongs out before fading to finish eighth of the ten runners.

[10] The Group 3 Golden Daffodil Stakes at Chepstow Racecourse on 25 July saw Chorist start the 9/4 second favourite behind Favourable Terms in four-runner field which was completed by Monturani and the 20/1 outsider Cuddles.

[12] On 11 October the filly started joint-favourite for the Princess Royal Stakes at Ascot but faded badly in the last quarter mile and came home third behind Itnab and Summitville, beaten eleven lengths by the winner.

[15] On 31 July Chorist started favourite for the Nassau Stakes at Goodwood but was beaten a short head and a neck by Favourable Terms and Silence Is Golden in a three-way photo finish.

In August the mare was sent to France for the first time and finished third to Whortleberry and Pride in the Group 1 Prix Jean Romanet over 2000 metres on very soft ground at Deauville Racecourse.

On her final racecourse appearance Chorist was matched against male opposition in the Champion Stakes at Newmarket on 16 October and started a 20/1 outsider in an eleven-runner field.

She produced arguably the best performance of her track career as she went to the front three furlongs out before being overtaken and beaten into second by Haafhd with Azamour, Refuse To Bend, Doyen and Lucky Story finishing behind.
