ABBEY ARRIVES

Grinzinger Abbey backed up her encouraging debut performance with a commanding victory at Sale on Thursday. 

The daughter of Exceed And Excel. who was sent out odds-on by punters, settled outside the leader from a wide gate, before taking over entering the straight and was always in control of the 1013m. event 

Jockey Ben Allen was full of praise for the three-year-old filly,

"She still has a lot ot learn, as she needs to conserve her energy a bit better as she was still a bit keen, but she had that race in her keeping a long way out," Allen said post race.

"She got through the heavy track and she has done a good job to learn from her first start and get the job done today."
