First Stakes-Winner for Cable Bay

Tara Madgwick - Saturday July 6
Woodside Park's exciting young shuttle sire Cable Bay (IRE) has already posted 10 first crop winners in the Northern Hemisphere this year and now a has his first stakes-winner with talented filly Liberty Beach taking out the Listed Dragon Stakes at Sandown on Friday.

Cable BayA last start fourth in the Group II Queen Mary Stakes at Royal Ascot, the John Quinn trained filly tracked the leaders but was in a class of her own when she hit top gear, cruising home to win the five furlong sprint by more than three lengths.

"From Ascot to today I've been very happy with her, just ticked her over, but she has a very good mind and, as you saw today, she's got electrical speed," said Quinn.

"Her demeanour was good, and that's her, it was very impressive to do what she did."

Liberty Beach has the overall record of three wins and that unlucky fourth at Royal Ascot from just four starts with connections now looking towards races such as the Group II Lowther Stakes at Goodwood.

Retained to race by her breeder Phillip Wilkins, Liberty Beach is the first winner from Flirtinaskirt, a half-sister by Avonbridge to Group III winner La Rioja.

A brilliant Group II winning sprinter by Invincible Spirit, Cable Bay stands at a fee of $13,200 at Wooodside Park this spring.
