USA Winner For Guest


There was a red-letter moment for Newmarket trainer Rae Guest at Woodbine on Saturday night as he sent out filly Serious Attitude to claim the Grade One Nearctic Stakes over six furlongs.

Ridden by Garrett Gomez, the 2008 Cheveley Park Stakes winner had last been seen finishing fifth to Lady Of The Desert in the Diadem Stakes at Ascot.

Guest's charge had been winless since Newmarket but showed a tremendous turn of foot to sweep from the rear and score in style from Grand Adventure.

Guest said of Serious Attitude: "We were running out of good races to run in. This was an ideal race for her as she's going to be sold in America at Keeneland. She's in the Fasig-Tipton sales in about three weeks' time.

"We thought this would be a nice little boost for the sales."
