Golden
Slipper winner Sepoy hasn't been able to crack it for an Australian stakes-winner
this season, but he did post his very first stakes-winner in France overnight
with an impressive win for Baileys Showgirl in the Listed Prix Roland de
Chambure at Chantilly.
Trained by Mark Johnston, she was an impressive winner at her second start at
Hamilton back in June and carried that good form into this tougher seven
furlong assignment.
Baileys Showgirl ran away from the favourite Red Onion to win by two lengths.
Offered by her breeder Ecurie Des Monceaux at last year's Arqana October
Yearlings Sale, Baileys Showgirl was purchased by Johnston for €22,000.
She is a half-sister to stakes-winner Tribune from stakes-placed War Chant mare
Tanguista.
Her sire Sepoy has had a fee reduction here in Australia and will stand at Darley
for $33,000, down from $66,000 in his first four seasons.
