Improving Milan Mare Gains Maiden Win At Tattersalls

Lady Boss (5m Milan - Lady Samphire, by Revoque) completed a quickfire double for the Crawford brothers when taking the Five-Year-Old Mares’ Maiden at Tattersalls on Sunday.

Ridden to chase the leaders by Ben Crawford, she made gradual improvement from halfway and went two lengths clear approaching the final fence. Ridden out on the run-in, she scored by five lengths on the line.

Trained by Stuart Crawford for Clare Ann McNeill, Lady Boss was building on third placings on her two previous starts. The daughter of Milan was bred by Yawl Bloodstock and James Browne out of a half-sister to Grade 1 performer Ballyhampshire Boy.
