Getaway Mare Delivers On Debut
Listentoyourheart (4g Getaway - Illwalktheline, by Presenting) shaped with great promise when making a winning debut in the mares’ bumper at Sedgefield on Wednesday.
Dan Skelton’s representative was well-supported to make a perfect start over two miles and one furlong, with Harry Skelton taking the ride aboard the four-year-old. Settled in midfield for much of the way, she made headway from four furlongs out and showed signs of inexperience when improving into second after the three furlong pole. Ridden approaching the final furlong, she kept on well to assert close home and led by three parts of a length on the line. The front pair drew 14 lengths clear of the field.
Listentoyourheart is the first foal bred by Yellowford Bloodstock out of Illwalktheline, who has a three-year-old filly by Walk In The Park and a yearling filly by Crystal Ocean.
