Verreaux Eagle took flight to break her maiden this afternoon at Carlisle under a cool ride from Kevin Stott.
The daughter of Free Eagle jumped cleanly out the stalls to make the running where Stott dictated a strong gallop. Still in the lead two furlongs out, Stott gave a shake of the reins and pushed Verreaux Eagle to a four and three-quarter length lead when crossing the finishing line.
Having been unlucky to come second twice from four previous starts, it was great to see this filly finally get her head in front. Still very much unexposed over six furlongs, we are excited to see what the rest of the season brings for this filly.
Congratulations to all involved, especially her owners Cayton Park Stud!
