Rampant Roco Roja turns on style

The Ado McGuinness-trained filly Roco Roja, impressive on her debut in Killarney two weeks ago, proved the star of last night’s Gowran Park action, landing the five-runner Ladies Day June 20 Fillies race in emphatic style.

Held up by Declan McDonogh and showing signs of her inexperience, the daughter of Strategic Prince quickened well to beat Shazeena by two and a half lengths with Urbestchance third.

“She was good, still very green, but she quickened up well and put the race to bed quickly,” stated winning trainer McGuinness.
