Bethrah booked for Matron return

BETHRAH is likely to return to action in the Coolmore Fusaichi Pegasus Matron Stakes at Leopardstown on September 4.

Sheikh Hamdan Al Maktoum’s filly has had a break since winning the Irish 1000 Guineas at the Curragh in May and is being prepared for an autumn campaign.

“Bethrah is in great form. She has enjoyed her break, she has come back and I’ll be speaking to Angus Gold about it. He’ll be speaking to Sheikh Hamdan,” said her trainer Dermot Weld.
