Snowdrop is likely target for Amniarix

Walker has Pattern aspirations for his Wolverhampton winner.
Amniarix is set to bid for Listed honours in Kempton’s Snowdrop Stakes at the end of March following her impressive victory at Wolverhampton. The lightly-raced filly completed a hat-trick in Monday evening’s fast-track qualifier but is unlikely to take up her place in the all-weather championships at Lingfield on Good Friday (April 2). Connections took the daughter of Speightstown to Dunstall Park to see if she could be good enough to step into Pattern company – and trainer Ed Walker was delighted Amniarix answered in the affirmative.Treble up for @RKingscote! @edwalkerracing‘s highly progressive Amniarix wins her third race in a row and books her @awchamps Fillies’ and Mares’ Final spot in impressive style at @WolvesRaces pic.twitter.com/N4gQJWeGcM

“It was a bit of a fact-finding mission,” said the Upper Lambourn handler. “We wanted to find out whether or not she was a filly that could be getting some black type later this year. “If so she’d stay in training and if not then to be retired and covered as a broodmare. She answered that question correctly, which is good news. She’s an exciting filly for the season ahead. “She’s come out of the race very well. She’s improving rapidly, and that was an impressive and pleasing performance.” Amniarix, racing in the familiar black and yellow colours of owner/breeder Bjorn Nielsen, easily accounted for Shimmering Dawn by two lengths.
