She won on a maiden at Goodwood in her first outing in August, and was a little disappointed on a fast field in her next race, but her return to a softer field was evident on Saturday when she slowed down and took a come-from-behind victory. It proved to be just the ticket for her. He was three-quarters of a length behind favorite Daniel, who was trained at Newmarket.
After the race, Matthew Sigsworth, representing the horse's owner, said: It's a little too hard for her. We were waiting for this race on an easier track rather than an ideal trip.
“She's still learning and she'll be a better filly next year. Hopefully next year it'll be a group race. She'll have a good winter and come back next spring and be even better.” I guess.”
The day started with a win for veteran Zip from Richard Fahey's Masley Bunkyard. Now 8 years old, Zip loves soft ground and is at his best this time of year.

Although he didn't win as a young horse (he finished second three times), he has won at least one race every year since then and has been a great horse for Richard and his owners, the Knavesmere Partnership.
It was his young rider's second career success in just his 10th ride and he is likely to be in demand on all-weather tracks during the winter months.
Although he was not at his best on the all-weather track at Southwell last time, the 6-year-old has previously won at Beverley and Leicester, and on the turf he showed a good performance from the previous race, winning his third straight race by half a length. Ta. The beginning.
His rider later said: I jumped out of him and put my hands down, that's his style. He reached a plateau, but never gave up. He really likes games. ”
Like Zip, It Just Takes Time also won his 11th race in a career that started in November 2020 and has seen him win almost £100,000 in prize money in 50 races.

Ryedale's fourth winner at Doncaster was soft ground specialist Eye of Dubai from John Quinn and Sean Quinn's Settlington yard.
Partnered by Jason Hart, he edged our favorite Irish-trained TV star by a nose to win the 15-horse, six-furlong handicap, with the winner taking home a prize worth £23,000. Given.
He is another horse who had a great season. This is because this is his third win of the year and he has finished in the position five times, bringing his career statistics to five wins and five finishes in just 12 races.
“Eye of Dubai did what they were supposed to do this year very well,” Sean Quinn said.

At the final meeting of Julie Camacho's foal at Doncaster, Art Design failed to place in the Virgin Bet Daily Extra Place Nursery for two-year-olds by a narrow head, leaving Ryedale the winner. There were nearly five horses, and although they were a little late due to being hit, they ran well. At the beginning.

The six-year-old, bred by his late father Malcolm, won in Newcastle in March 2023, but has been off the track for nearly a year after showing promise in two novice hurdles last autumn.
However, regular rider Sean Quinlan took on favorite Tommy's Row after the final flight and won by two and three-quarters of a length, showing great form in his season debut.
Another winner to score with the Norton-trained jumper was Brian Ellison-trained Dream Jet, who won the two-mile novice handicap chase in the hands of Craig Nichol at Hexham on Friday.
It was the 6-year-old horse's second win of the season, having won a similar event at Market Larsen in July.
