Baheeja eager to get fourth straight success
Those, who believe that a rider plays an important part in the sport, opine that Dominic Fox was the potential factor behind the Roger Varian trained bay filly Baheeja’s three consecutive victories of the last month. But this is not true fully as the young
and enthusiastic sprinter possesses great talent that Fox has managed to exploit well.
How much the jockey factor matters, this will be visible in the EBF Lochsong Fillies´ Stakes (Handicap) that the three-year-old brilliant filly is going to run at Salisbury today. The race over 6 furlongs and 212 yards has a dozen of entries.
This is the time for Baheeja to prove her capabilities and make the people realize that she can do well under any rider. Remember, she will be driven by Neil Callan who was on her back when she debuted in September 2011.
The talented daughter of Dubawi out of Hasty Words finished as the runner-up in a big race at Yarmouth in the very next month of her career. The fantastic filly had to wait till August 3, 2012 for breaking her maiden. Finally, she bagged the ace title of
the Thirsk Racecourse Conference Rooms Maiden Fillies' Stakes while being the 2-1 favourite.
The Sheikh Ahmed Al Maktoum owned maverick sprinter brilliantly finished first again in the next race named as Bootleg Beatles Here Next Saturday Handicap. This time, she was the joint favourite candidate with Jack Of Diamonds.
Baheeja once more showed her class by winning the Anna Busbridge's Memorial Handicap that was her last start.
There must be no doubt to believe that the fervent filly will make a big impact in today’s marathon. However, she will have to take some stress to curb Dance Company who is on the verge of a hat-trick at the moment.
The William Knight trained bay filly broke her maiden with the title of British Stallion Studs Supporting British Racing EBF Maiden Fillies' Stakes, held at Lingfield on May 1, 2012.
She moved on to win 32Red.com Fillies' Handicap in July and 32Red Fillies' Handicap in August. Thus, she can prove to be a tough rival for Baheeja. So let us enjoy the heated action.
