Fillies withdrawn from Lightning Stakes
Brad Waters
Saturday, 30 January 2010
The Group I Lightning Stakes field is down to 11 runners after the race-morning scratching of two three-year-old fillies from the Flemington feature.
Breeding giant Coolmore’s purchase of exciting colt Starspangledbanner on Friday has resulted in the scratching of Thousand Guineas winner Irish Lights from the David Hayes stable.
“There is nothing wrong with the filly,” Hayes’ assistant trainer Gary Fennessy said. “The owners just didn’t want her to run because they bought the other colt.
“David (Hayes) will assess where she will have her first-up run early next week. It’s a little disappointing but we still have another strong chance in the race.”


Hayes would be cranky as all gelati..He had been talking up IL's chance of winning this race.
I guess it all comes down to down to $....a dual G1 colt is far more valuable than a dual G1 filly.

Good luck to the previous owners..at $10m..they have had a huge ride and made some big $..see breeder Tony Santic was one of the owners. The mare was served by Redoute's back in September...will be worth a few shillings!

(* said in Monty Python voice*) Well that wasn't so good now, was it?

How is C.F Orr Stakes Day shaping up?

Probably won't buit God I hope the old man can do this. Good luck to Zipping. (and to Snipers Bullet who I DO think can win this).

She's such a nice girl.

As an aside she's never won against the boys, has she?

I'm rooting for Zipping but if I were playing I'd throw some on Danzlum. Maybe I'm crazy.

Heart of Dreams hits the board too...

Come home safe.

So easy for Denman.

Easily won yet again Saturday... However, looks like they are going to stay local in the future and skip running in Japan.
