Black Type Secured For Bonnie Grey

After an impressive debut success at Warwick in an excellent time, we had quite high hopes for Bonnie Grey, although things did not really go to plan on her first two attempts at Listed level. In the National Stakes she was stuck mid-track on unsuitable heavy ground but was not disgraced in fourth behind Tiggy Wiggy. Then she got too far behind when stepped up to six furlongs at Newmarket before staying on strongly to finish sixth only beaten four lengths. Therefore we decided to step her up to seven furlongs for the a Listed event at Sandown, a race we finished third with Harvest Joy back in 2006. Settled at the back of the field, she stayed on strongly in the final furlong to claim third place and some valuable black-type for her future bloodstock career.
