Royal Ascot win

Before Royal Ascot, she won a valuable premier handicap at The Curragh. On Irish Guineas weekend no less. Taking her victory in the impressive style she booked her ticket over the Irish Sea. She was a strong favourite at Royal Ascot. She routed a field of 21 runners by 5 ½ lengths in the Sandringham Stakes. Despite heavy ground, Ben Coen got her round superbly.

She put the race to bed in a matter of strides proving to be the most visually impressive winner of the week at the Royal meeting. Many RacehorseClub members enjoyed the day as official owners and even collected the winning trophy! Johnny Murtagh regularly visited the winner’s enclosure at Royal Ascot as a jockey, but this was a first for him as a trainer.
