Adaay In Devon Lands Another GBB Bonus

Adaay In Devon (GB) (Adaay {Ire}) collected her fourth bonus from Great Britain Bonus in a conditions stakes at Leiscester Tuesday, becoming the first Flat filly to accomplish the feat since the scheme launched in 2020.

“Adaay In Devon has been a pleasure to train and we've been absolutely delighted with her progress,” said trainer Rod Millman.

After three runs and two placings, Adaay In Devon had her first win, including a £20,000 bonus, at Windsor Aug. 7 where the filly won convincingly in a Class 5 Maiden Fillies' S. Her second win came just 19 days later on Aug. 26 at Goodwood in the Class 4 Novice S. With £40,000 in the coffers, the filly returned Sept. 13 to win at Carlisle racecourse, landing her third £20,000 bonus.

Millman added, “We hoped to win one bonuses so to have won four is fantastic. It's great for her owners–they're just smaller owner breeders so to reward them like this is great.”

On the Flat, any Class 2 – 5 maiden, novice or conditions race in Britain is covered by a GBB bonus.

The scheme is supported by the HBLB and is managed by the Thoroughbred Breeders Association whose Chairman, Philip Newton said, “We're delighted to be able to support a super filly like this and we're thrilled for her connections. It takes careful race planning to achieve four bonuses on the Flat so Rod's efforts have to be applauded. If you ever needed proof that breeding and racing a British-bred filly can be a profitable Affair, Adaay in Devon is it.”

Observations: Highbank On Show at Leicester

Observations on the European Racing Scene turns the spotlight on the best European races of the day, highlighting well-pedigreed horses early in their careers, horses of note returning to action and young runners that achieved notable results in the sales ring. Tuesday's Insights features TDN Rising Star Highbank (Ire).

2.30 Leicester, Novice, £9,000, 2yo, 7fT
HIGHBANK (IRE) (Kingman {GB}) may have blotted his copybook in Newbury's Haynes, Hanson & Clark Conditions S. last month, but Godolphin's TDN Rising Star is back to show that his impressive Newmarket debut success in July was no one-off. Charlie Appleby opts for a confidence boost for the 750,000gns Book 1 purchase from the family of the German stars Boreal (Ger) (Java Gold) and Borgia (Ger) (Acatenango {Ger}), who if his debut performance is a guide will be heading for big targets next term.

HOW THEY FARED

1.20 Killarney, Mdn, €18,000, 2yo, 8f 60yT
Water Nymph (Ire) (Saxon Warrior {Jpn}), the half-sister to the Fancy Blue (Ire) (Deep Impact {Jpn}), was rushed up early into a prominent position after a tardy break but faded out of contention in the straight to be sixth.

1.55 Yarmouth, Novice, £9,950, 2yo, 7f 3yT
Pherenikos (Ire) (Shamardal), the half-brother to Coroebus (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}), showed up well for a long way but paid for his early keenness late to be touched off for what would have been a deserved second placing.
