TWILIGHT JET (Twilight Son) danced every dance as a juvenile yet looked better than ever when bolting up in the Gr.3 Lacken Stakes at Naas on his first start of the new season. Michael O’Callaghan’s resilient sprinter topped the Goffs UK Breeze-Up Sale last year before going on to win the Gr.3 Cornwallis Stakes and place in a brace of Group 2 events. Now a dual Group 3 winner, this performance suggests that he is worthy of a return to Group 1 company in the Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot next month for his trainer and fellow owners Michael & Julia Iavarone.
Bred by Tom Radley, Twilight Jet becomes the third stakes winner in the last fortnight for TWILIGHT SON, along with Gr.3 Athasi Stakes scorer TWILIGHT SPINNER and Listed Prix du Pont Neuf victor TOIMY SON.
