It was a good performance. It was her first run in four months,. The plan is to give her one more run this year. The plan has always been the Group 1 Fillies and Mares on British Champions Weekend. I've had that in mind for her since April. She put in two lovely performances in the Blue Wind and Alleged Stakes, beating Found and then Bocca Baciata. She enjoyed her summer break and has come back to be what I expected her to be, a Group 1 filly before the end of the year. It's equally pleasing to have bred her with my late mother. She's out of Nightime who gave my mother a great day when winning the 1,000 Guineas. I'm more looking forward to next year and think she'll be a serious mare then. The best is yet to come.
