Trainer Geoff Oldroyd's confidence in the chance of Ladies Are Forever proved completely justified as the youngster won the £150,000 totepool Two-Year-Old Trophy at Redcar.
Ladies Are Forever was given a cracking ride by Silvestre de Sousa, who sent her to the front just inside the final quarter-mile and kept her going in good style to hold the challenge of Codemaster by one and a quarter lengths.
The 3-1 favourite is owned and was bred by Reg Bond, and Oldroyd, who has held a training licence since 1983 and was gaining his biggest success, said: "When I saw the declarations I was never worried about her chance, being a filly like her off a mark of only 7st 12lb."
