The Racingpost described it as
"A devilishly competitive renewal of this handicap" and the 3yo filly SOPRANO by STARSPANGLEDBANNER won the Sandringham Stakes against 29(!) competitors and thus became the first Royal Ascot winner pinhooked by STAUFFENBERG BLOODSTOCK and raised at SCHLOSSGUT ITLINGEN.SOPRANO was purchased as a foal at the Goffs November Foal Sales for €45.000 and sold at the Tattersalls October Sales for GNS100.000 to Highclere Racing. Trained by George Boughey for the succesful syndicate she was ridden by "Billy the Kid" the 18yo shooting star Billy Loughnane. After having won first time out as a 2yo SOPRANO now added another win at 3 years having competed solely in Stakes company in between .
