Trained by the Hayes Dabernig partnership, Fastnet Rock filly Twilight Song was
easy in the market but had no trouble scoring a three-quarter length win in the
1100 metre maiden.She sat three deep for Jake Duffy travelling in third place coming to the turn, but was very strong to the line in an encouraging display.
"She'll take a lot of benefit from that," said Duffy.
"It was a good learning experience for her. I'dratehr not have been three deep, but they said to ride her where she was comfortable and she would finish it off, which she did."
Twilight Song is a half-sister to Group II winners First Command and Oneworld being the ninth winner for River Serenade, a winning full sister to Group I winner River Dove, the dam of Group II winner Headwater.
She was one of four winners on Wednesday by champion sire Fastnet Rock, who is enjoying a hot run at present with 31 winners in the past 30 days!
River Serenade produced a filly by Snitzel last spring and is back in foal to the reigning champion sire.
