Ainippe relishes step up to seven furlongs

Ger Lyons is looking to the future with Ainippe after she relished the step up to seven furlongs to win the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Brownstown Stakes at Fairyhouse yesterday.

The County Meath trainer is thinking of the Park Stakes at Doncaster’s St Leger meeting in September and possibly the Matron Stakes at Leopardstown 12 months after that following the three-year-old filly’s strike for owners Qatar Racing.

Previously successful in a Group Three over six furlongs, Ainippe landed her second victory in this grade as she accounted for recent Godolphin buy Majestic Queen in cosy fashion.
