Sills Vincero, one of a team of racehorses sponsored by The Crown, produced another bold show at Wolverhampton on Monday (30th March) when she took on older horses for the first time in a competitive five-furlong handicap.
Despite being the only three-year-old in the line-up, the daughter of Piccolo led for much of the way, only to be worn down in the final 50 yards, finishing a creditable third in the hands of top jockey Paul Hanagan.
Stable companion Wibbadune, also owned by Simon Mapletoft Racing and trained by Derek Shaw at Newark, ran in the same race but was unable to get competitive from her wide draw, under a big weight. She will now switch to the turf in the hope of supplementing her three wins on quick ground last summer.
Meanwhile, ex-Irish sprinter Circle Dance, another Wolverhampton winner for Simon Mapletoft, is set to return in a five-furlong handicap at Nottingham in mid-April.
