A huge Well done to trainer Malcolm Saunders after his filly Pixeleen who I purchased as a yearling for £24,000 earned herself some black-type at Salisbury yesterday. The daughter of Pastoral Pursuits is closely related to Royal Ascot Gr.1 entry & 2017 Group 2 winner Priceless and has been very progressive and consistent in her racing career to date.
Always up with the pace Pixeleen showed a lot of speed over the 6f distance and battled hard but was beaten 1 1/2 lengths in the end by the Shadwell owned Eqtiraan who was winning off a rating of 105.
Congratulations to owner and trainer Malcolm Saunders.
