Aviatrice, a four-year-old daughter of Phoenix of Spain, became the latest stakes winner for her sire when landing the Listed Irish Stallion Farms EBF Cooley Fillies’ Stakes over a mile at Dundalk on 6th November. Trained by David Marnane and ridden by W.J. Lee, she produced a strong late challenge to defeat Never Let Go by three-quarters of a length.
Owned by N. Molloy and bred by Nanallac Stud, Aviatrice is out of the Invincible Spirit mare Virtudes. Her Listed success adds further momentum to the growing record of Phoenix of Spain, whose progeny continue to perform at the highest level.
The win was the fourth of Aviatrice’s career and her second stakes success, taking her earnings beyond €129,000. A consistent performer throughout the season, she stepped up in class with distinction to provide her sire with another valuable black-type winner.
She’s done it again! 🥇🥇
Aviatrice lands the @IrishEBF_ Listed Cooley Fillies Stakes for the second year running.
