澳大利亚训练师杰拉尔德·瑞恩训练的三岁马"智利女孩"在Rosehill马场赢得listed等级的玫瑰花苞赛事(1100米),由骑师蒂姆·克拉克驾驭以一身长的优势战胜"蓝门"[1]。这匹马以$6.50的赔率获胜[1],此前曾在1月份赢得威顿锦标赛,但随后因腿部拉伤长期休赛,错过了黄金鞍座大赛[1]。
本次胜利后,瑞恩表示有雄心挑战更长的赛程。他计划让"智利女孩"参加group 2等级的激烈锦标赛(1200米)和茶玫瑰锦标赛(1400米)[1],并指出"我认为她能跑一英里"[1]。瑞恩与合作伙伴Alexiou曾在去年凭借"天鹰"赢得玫瑰花苞赛事[1]。
Three-year-old Chilly Girl returned to racing with an impressive performance, winning the listed Rosebud Stakes over 1100 meters at Rosehill under jockey Tim Clark [1]. The horse, trained by Gerald Ryan, defeated Blue Door by a length and started at $6.50 odds [1].
Chilly Girl had been sidelined by a leg injury that forced her to miss the Golden Slipper after winning the Widden Stakes in January [1]. Following her successful comeback, Ryan plans to target the Group 2 Furious Stakes at 1200 meters and the Tea Rose Stakes at 1400 meters [1]. The trainer expressed confidence in the mare's potential, stating "I reckon she'll get a mile," indicating she may be capable of stepping up to longer distances, including possibly the Flight Stakes [1]. Ryan and his racing partner Alexiou have previous success in this event, having won the Rosebud with Skyhook last year [1].
