Hassaleh, a three-year-old daughter of Night Of Thunder, landed her first Group contest on Saturday, 15 August when landing the G3 Prix de Lieurey. Run over a mile at Deauville, she was held up in the rear and swept round the field on the home turn, battling gamely to win by one length over Esna, with Fortuna Diamond, another daughter of Night Of Thunder, back in third.

Lightly raced, Hassaleh has now won three of her five starts including the Listed Prix Amandine last month at Deauville.
Hassaleh is a daughter of Lucida, a G2-winning juvenile who finished second in the 1,000 Guineas when trained by Jim Bolger. From the family of Champion English Channel, Lucida has produced four winners including the Stakes-placed Bedouin Prince (Ghaiyyath).
Night Of Thunder, Champion of 2025, is having another spectacular season and now has sired 16 Group winners this year, more than any other stallion in the world. They are led by G1 winners Ombudsman and Bow Echo, the top two horses trained in Europe, plus Ten Bob Tony, Estrange and Portfolio Duration.
