Sophie shines on Gleaming Girl!


10 December 2014


APPRENTICE Sophie Killoran once again showcased her ability this afternoon with a fine display to achieve a second successive victory aboard Gleaming Girl.

Three weeks after the duo struck in a seven-furlong nursery at Kempton, they repeated the trick over course and distance.

The David Simcock-trained 8/1 shot was in the right place throughout the contest, tracking the lead early on in the hands of the 7lb claimer.

Indeed, Sophie ensured that she was in the perfect spot to pounce with just over a furlong to run, coming to challenge the strong-finishing China Club.

Gleaming Girl fought out a protracted battle with that rival and got on top in the final strides before going on to score by a length.
