Maria triumphs in Fillies Guineas for a Julie Classic double

Ladies Day came up tammy for trainer, Julie McCann, as her Maria swung past Joanna by a length, in the Fillies Guineas. Ten Eighty was incrementally gaining momentum for third, with Leap of Faith lacing a decent fourth.

'Molto Bravo' to jockey, Henry Muya, who waited an ever-loving minute before skipping to the wire on Maria. Having already raised champagne glasses with Deon and Dalkeith, for father Joe, Henry's Classic strike, rounded off a charming treble.

Tony Kuria's, Assured (Paul Kiarie), pulled rank on General Lee, as he free-styled to the Kenya Gold Cup 3,200m George Drew Challenge post, harvesting five wins in a row. Cranleigh and Deodoro looked a little ship-wrecked, hectares away.
