Alanza - Another Talented Aga Khan Filly
Ireland's great trainer (Sea The Stars IRE) rarely sends a horse to a major race abroad unless it has a very good chance of winning.
He sent three-year-old Alanza IRE (Dubai Destination USA) to race in the Japan Racing Association Sceptre Stakes (Group 3) 7f for fillies and mares.
She has won four of her six starts and two thirds.
She lost favourite to Henry Cecil's Chachamaidee at 5/2 and closed at 11/4.
Seta led at a fine pace until Alanza, Chachamaidee and last year's winner, Dever Dream, descended on her.
Alanza appeared to be trapped, but showed an electric turn of foot when her jockey Johnny Murtagh found a gap.
Only a neck and head divided her from her older rivals Dever Dream and Chachamaidee.
This strong filly of H H The Aga Khan is promising and progressive. No immediate plans were announced for future races.
