Fallen Angel registered a decisive third successive Group One victory in the BetMGM Sun Chariot Stakes at Newmarket, confirming her status as the best filly over a mile. After a slow start to the season, the four-year-old has been exceptional since August, adding this win to previous top-level successes in France and the Matron Stakes.
