Royal Saint 27/07/09

The Royal Saint of Wellington
Steve Beattie told me he saw a good Bel Esprit filly win at Wellington yesterday. The horse was Royal Saint and it won by five lengths, ridden by Greg Ryan, trained by Phillip Ayoub and handled the slow track very well.
At the Inglis Sales in 2006 she was passed in for $6,000 with a reserve of $15,000 for Chatswood Lodge
Royal Saint had her first race at Ballarat on the 14/12/08, she started favourite and finished third on a heavy track. That day she was trained by Peter Moody.
Next two starts were in Queensland in January finishing a 6.8 length seventh and then started favourite again, finishing thirteen of fifteen at Ipswich and was trained by Kelly Schweida
She beat Unforgivable Woman (won next start) in a trial for her new trainer Phillip Ayoub on 28/06/09, so it's not hard to see why she started at $3.20 in yesterday's RADIO 2 DU MDN HCP over 1100m
