Laura Pearson judges pace and conditions to perfection to make all on Sparks Fly to win the Group 3 Princess Elizabeth Stakes for owner-breeder David Lowe and trainer
@DaveLoughnane_
The 6yo daughter of
@HarasMontaigu's stallion Muhaarar has run 27 times, Pearson has ridden her on 21 of those starts.
It is a second Group 3 victory for the mare – the first came on very soft ground
@salisburyraces. She also has four Listed wins to her name, and they have all come on heavy going.
Pearson said: "We do the same every time she runs, and I have never felt so confident about one going into a race, there was never a doubt in my mind.
"This filly always hangs left so there was no point in going to the top rail only up to roll back down again. She loves being out in front, and she likes her own company as she has just proven there today.
"I had a couple of checks and a furlong and a half out I knew I had them covered."
Sparks Fly takes the Princess Elizabeth Stakes🏆⭐️
Laura Pearson took the brave route up the inside - and it paid off in style 👏
