News
it has been a long time coming, 252 days to be precise, but the wait is finally over as Inspiral steps out on track for the first time since capping an unbeaten juvenile campaign with success in the Group 1 Fillies' Mile tomorrow. John Gosden told The Punter "Inspiral has taken time to come to herself, but obviously it's a tough ask for her first start of the year as there are some decent fillies in there," "It can happen to some fillies in the spring hormonally. However, she has come forward recently and did a nice piece of work under Frankie Dettori on the Limekilns last Thursday. She's ready for a race, but will improve from it."
