Summary
- Green Carrera won the Sandringham Stakes at Royal Ascot.
- The filly will race in the Grade 1 Del Mar Oaks in August.
- She was recently acquired by a partnership including Tim Cohen.
Green Carrera, a standout performer who captured the Sandringham Stakes at Royal Ascot in 2026, is preparing for a significant move to the United States. She will soon join the stable of trainer Leonard Powell, with her sights set on the Grade 1 Del Mar Oaks. This prestigious turf race is scheduled for August 22 and covers a distance of 1 ⅛ miles.
The accomplished three-year-old filly, a daughter of Lope de Vega, was recently purchased privately the week before the Royal Ascot event. The acquisition was made by a partnership that includes Tim Cohen, a notable owner from California operating under Rancho Temescal.
Under the tutelage of Joseph O'Brien, Green Carrera has demonstrated considerable talent, securing three victories and one second-place finish in six career starts. Before her transatlantic journey, she is slated to compete in the Cairn Rouge Stakes, a race approximately a mile long at Killarney Racecourse in Ireland on July 15. Following this engagement, she will travel to California to begin her preparations for the Del Mar Oaks.
