Shesafoxylady has been well-touted for some time now and the daughter of Trans Island got the rub of the green to make it third time lucky when stylishly landing the www.punchestown.com For Raceday Offers Mares INH Flat Race under Patrick Mullins.
She'd surely have scored at Galway last time if enjoying a clear passage and today she put this big field contest to bed in a few strides from over a furlong out, in the end slamming Behana by five lengths.
Another one to sport the Supreme Horse Racing Club silks, Shesafoxylady's win prompted her trainer Willie Mullins to say: "I'm not sure if she'll stay in bumpers or go hurdling now but she is improving with every run."
Meanwhile Mullins had the following update on his Melbourne Cup hope Simenon: "He's in great form and he's come out of his race really well (3rd last weekend). He still needs seven to come out to get into the Melbourne Cup.
"They tell me it looks odds-on now that he will get in but we'll have to wait and see." (AM & EM)
