Ejaabiyah’s Salisbury stroll sets up potential Irish Oaks tilt
Roger Varian’s filly landed cramped odds in style.
Ejaabiyah could have earned herself a shot at the Juddmonte Irish Oaks following a bloodless victory at Salisbury on Sunday. Roger Varian’s daughter of Frankel entered plenty of notebooks when an impressive six-length winner on debut at Kempton last November. She lost little in defeat when reappearing at Listed level in Newbury’s Haras De Bouquetot Fillies’ Trial Stakes, where she bumped into the Ribblesdale Stakes-bound Diamond Rain. Varian elected against taking Ejaabiyah to Royal Ascot in favour of building experience in the calmer calmer waters of the valuable Darley EBF Fillies’ Novice Stakes.Lovely performance!
