Shecouldbeanything still living up to her name

The Gordon Elliott-trained Shecouldbeanything made a big impression on her track debut when running out a convincing winner of the concluding lady riders' bumper under Aine O'Connor.

On her first outing for Cullentra the Malinas mare went to post an easy-to-back 7/4 shot having been as short as 4/7 this morning.

She made virtually all in the mares contest and O'Connor asked her to quicken away from challenger Della Casa Lunga in the final furlong to record a six-and-a-half length success.

Shecouldbeanything had cost £68,000 following her point-to-point success at Loughanmore in April.

O'Connor said afterwards:- "I don't think I'll ride too many winners as easy as her. She is a nice filly and I couldn't have asked for much more. I'm very grateful to Gordon (Elliott) for letting me ride her.

"She had won her point to point quite impressively for Pat Turley and she went through that ground no problem."
