Far East beckons for Cucaracha

Connections of La Cucaracha have their sights set on a trip to the Far East with the rapidly-improving filly after she sprinted to success in the VC Bet Nunthorpe Stakes at York.

The Barry Hills-trained 7-1 chance burst through down the centre of the track and kept on bravely to deny the fast-finishing The Tatling by a head, with Majestic Missile a further length away in third.
