Mark Johnston has big dreams for Baileys Jubilee after her victory at Vichy on 17th July, 2012
The Mark Johnston trained, Baileys Jubilee, was in no mood to let anyone overhaul her in the Prix Des Reves D'Or - Jacques Bouchara at Vichy on 17th July, 2012.
With rider Ioritz Mendizabal on her back, she completed the five furlong track well and, finished 1 ½ lengths ahead of Faithfilly, who rode under jockey Maxime Guyon while the third place secured by, Sorry Woman.
The two-year-old, Baileys Jubilee, raced as a favourite and was sent off at 23-10. The two-year-old was looking to bounce back from 4 defeats in a row, and in the end she was successful in snapping her losing streak.
This victory has given the trainer confidence and he is planning to take her to Goodwood or return to France. Johnston confirmed this when he told the press:
"It was lovely to see her get her head in front again.
"She might back to France for the Prix de Cabourg at Deauville on July 29, otherwise she could go for the Molecomb at Goodwood."
The daughter of Bahamian Bounty, out of mare Missisipi Star, scored in the first two starts of her career but, turned in some below par performances which yielded three unplaced and a single third place finish in four consecutive starts.
The Baileys Horse Feeds owned runner established herself as a strong runner, when she defeated, Marvelino, by 4 lengths in the seven furlong Betfred The Bonus King Bingo/British Stallion Studs E B F Maiden Stakes at Kempton.
The filly has returned to good form, and seems like she will be taking on some big races in the future. With time, experience and practice, she is bound to get better and collect more victories along the way.
On 17th July, 2012, Mark Johnston’s charge, Moon Trip, also landed a victory in the 127th Year of Watt Memorial Handicap, which was hosted at the Beverley racecourse and covered a distance of 2 miles on a surface that was labelled
good to firm.
With jockey Franny Norton, the son of Cape Cross, out of mare Fading Light, defeated the race favourite, Mojolika, by an immense margin of five lengths.
