The Michael Halford trained Cloudy Miss gained a winning bracket in the Hennessy & Perrozzi Handicap at Bellewstown today, scoring a ready win under jockey Shane Foley.

The daughter of Shamardal put light between herself and her rivals with a furlong to race and in the end beat Kamili by two and a quarter lengths.

Afterwards Halford said “it's nice to get a bracket with her as she's a nicely bred filly and the penny is only really starting to drop with her now.

“She's getting stronger and knowing how to race, is well balanced and knew her job; Shane (Foley) kept it simple.

“I'm delighted to win a race for John (Connaughton, owner) who has had a few horses with us. It's always good to get a winner for him and she's a home-bred filly.

“We'll see what the handicapper does with her. You'd hope now that she's got her head in front that she'd keep going on. She's a very straight-forward and sound filly so there is plenty of racing in her for the summer.”
