Raced over 1600m at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth. Finished 9th out of 14 runners.
Anthony Delpech post-race comment: She was given no chance after Richard dropped her out to the back at the start. There was no pace in the race and I didn’t expect her to finish her race off from so far back. Richard did apologize after the race for his poor decision to drop her out.
