Mark Smith - Monday June 8

Five wins and one second from seven starts says all you need to know about the courageous filly Liberty Beach who has been a wonderful flag-bearer for Woodside Park Stud shuttler Cable Bay (IRE).

Winner of the Group III Molecomb Stakes and Listed Dragon Stakes and runner-up in York’s Lowther Stakes on her final start last season at two, Liberty Beach kick-started her three-year-old campaign with a hard-fought victory in Sunday’s Listed Cecil Frail Fillies' Stakes at Haydock.

With regular rider Jason Heart in the saddle, the John Quinn-trained 3yo defeated Queen Jo Jo (Gregorian) by three-quarter of a length with maid In India (Bated Breath) a head back in third.

Racing Post said: ‘Pulled hard, tracked leaders, pushed along and led over 1f out, edged left inside final furlong, ridden out.’

The only time Liberty Beach has been further back than second was when she was fourth in the Queen Mary at Royal Ascot.

The daughter of Cable Bay (IRE) is the lone winner from three to race out of the winning Avonbridge mare Flirtinaskirt a half-sister to the Group III winner La Rioja (Hellvelyn).

A Group II winning son of Invincible Spirit, Cable Bay (IRE) has received solid support in his first three seasons and returns to Woodside Park in 2020 where he will stand for a fee of $9,900.
