Fillies' Mile
Shortly after her Salisbury win, Punctilious was bought privately by Sheikh Mohammed's Godolphin Racing. The filly was moved up in class for the Group One Fillies' Mile at Ascot Racecourse on 27 September and was made the 13/8 favourite. After leading for most of the way, she was overtaken in the final furlong and finished third beaten one and a quarter lengths and a short head by Red Bloom and Sundrop.
