Venus foils the gamble on Rae's Creek
Newcomer Venus De Milo kept on strongly in the closing stages to win the last, the Family Day On 14th July Fairyhouse Maiden, under Seamie Heffernan for Aidan O’Brien. Wed 12th Jun
Venus De Milo showed a lot as a younger filly at home but Aidan didn't want to run her until she was ready. She surprised me at Fairyhouse the way she quickened when the penny dropped and I was riding her to run a nice race today and wanted to teach her a bit to see if she was up to running in these kinds of races. I wasn't sure, but I initially thought the reason she won at Fairyhouse was because of the soft ground but the ground was totally the opposite today. She has a bit of class though and is strong and versatile.
