Angela sounds the right notes in Yarmouth feature
Listed win for Roger Varian-trained mare.
Sound Angela struck at Yarmouth to take the EBF Stallions John Musker Fillies’ Stakes. Roger Varian’s mare was a 17-2 chance in a field of 14 under Silvestre de Sousa, with the 10-furlong race a familiar contest for the bay as she was fourth in 2022. She has held her own at Listed level since without winning, with placed performances on turf in France and also on the all-weather in England. After breaking from stall seven the five-year-old always travelled well, and three furlongs from home began to pick off rivals before taking up the lead at the furlong marker and holding off a challenge from the fast-finishing runner-up Naomi Lapaglia.Sound Angela takes the feature!
