Star finishes off her season in great style

CHEYENNE Star rounded off a tremendous season when, enterprisingly ridden by Seamus Heffernan, she scored a facile win in the listed Cooley Fillies Stakes at Dundalk last night.

The 2/1 favourite tracked the leaders on the inside and got a remarkable run to seize the advantage with less than a furlong and a half to race. Soon clear, she ran on tenaciously to hold the late surge of Bush Maiden by a length.

“She’s a great filly,” declared trainer Frances Crowley in the winner’s enclosure, “It’s a great way to end the season and I hope she’ll head to Dubai for a listed race in the first week of February.”
