Quadrilateral (foaled 11 April 2017) is a British Thoroughbred racehorse. She was one of the best two-year-old fillies in Europe in 2019 when she was unbeaten in three races including the Group 1 Fillies' Mile. She failed to win any of her three races in the following year.

Background

Quadrilateral is a chestnut filly bred in England by her owner

Beckhampton in Wiltshire
.

She was from the fourth crop of foals sired by Frankel, an undefeated racehorse whose other progeny have included Cracksman, Anapurna, Soul Stirring and Without Parole.[2] Quadrilateral's dam Nimble Thimble showed modest ability on the track, winning one minor race from three starts.[3] Her dam Skiable was a half-sister to the outstanding broodmare Hasili.[4]

Racing career

2019: two-year-old season

Quadrilateral was ridden in all of her races as a two-year-old by

7/2 second favourite in a ten-runner field. After racing in mid-division she made steady progress in the last quarter mile, took the lead in the closing stages and won by a neck from the colt Mambo Nights.[5] Five weeks later, over the same course and distance, Quadrilateral contested a minor fillies' race in which she started the 7/4 second favourite behind the Michael Stoute-trained Melnikova. She was restrained by Watson at the rear of the seven-runner field before moving up to take the lead approaching the final furlong and drawing away from her opponents to win in "impressive" style by eight lengths.[6]

On 11 October at

Flame Of Tara Stakes), Powerful Breeze (May Hill Stakes), Boomer (Prestige Stakes) and West End Girl (Sweet Solera Stakes). She settled behind the leaders as West End Girl set the pace, before making progress in the last quarter mile. Quadrilateral maintained her run, overtook Powerful Breeze in the final strides and won by a head with a length and a half back to Love in third place.[7] After the race Charlton said "She kept responding and I thought she did really well to get there. She fought like a good’un and handled the track, it was a great effort really... that was a proper test and she did it 100%."[8]

2020: three-year-old season

The flat racing season in England was disrupted by the

Sandown Park
. She raced in second place for most of the way but was unable to make any progress in the closing stages and came home fourth behind the front-running winner Maamora.
