Maiden success for Murtagh's Aga Khan-filly
Hazalaya moves past Muhhaarar's Girl

Hazalaya (2/1 — 11/8) got off the mark on her sixth maiden attempt today, landing Roscommon's
Murray Ambulance (Fillies) Maiden for jockey Ben Coen, owner the Aga Khan and trainer Johnny Murtagh.
By Paddington's sire Siyouni, Hazalaya travelled well passing leader Muhaarar's Girl a furlong out and easily beat that rival by three and three-parts of a length.
Coen commented “I'm very happy with her, we liked her early on but it took her a few runs to find her feet. The drop down to seven (furlongs) really suited her, she has a few gears and picked up and won nicely.
“Her last few runs were a little bit disappointing and it's nice to get her maiden into her.
“She had cheekpieces on the last day and probably did a bit too much early. She's a speedy filly and we like her going forward.”
