On ratings and under the conditions of the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Median Auction Race in Cork, Back To Brussels looked a penalty kick, and so it proved for Fozzy Stack’s filly.

For much of the race Chris Hayes was motionless aboard the odds-on favourite and when he asked her to quicken inside the final furlong, she raced away from long-time leader Independent Missy.
