Barefoot Lady For Coronation Stakes


Richard Fahey is eyeing up the Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot for his talented filly Barefoot Lady.

The three-year-old has had a busy year so far, flying home to land the Nell Gwyn at Newmarket and placing fifth after being supplemented for the 1000 Guineas, before being beaten just a head by Joviality in the Musidora Stakes at York on her latest start.

Fahey is now leaning towards running her at Royal Ascot, rather than adding her to the field for the Prix de Diane in France.

"She's grand and we're looking at the Coronation Stakes for her," said Fahey.

"It's a bit up in the air as we were looking at the French Oaks as well, but it's a lot of money to supplement and the owners already supplemented her for the Guineas.

"We'll leave her in the Coronation and have a good look at it."
