IT has been a productive time of late for Lisheen Stud stallion Rajj, the highlight of which came last Saturday night, when I’m So Fancy powered to a comfortable two-and-three-quarter-length triumph in the $100,000 Big Dreyfus Stakes at Laurel Park.

It was a fifth career victory for I’m So Fancy, the previous four coming when owned by former Down Royal chairman and Horse Racing Ireland board member Jim Nicholson and trained by Jessica Harrington.

Following Group 3 and listed wins last year, as well as a pair of Group 2 placings, I’m So Fancy was sold to race in America and last weekend’s success was her first for new owner Lael Stable and trainer Arnaud Delacour.

Closer to home, Fancy Feat, representing the Nicholson-Harrington tandem and My Laureate and My Mystique, both trained by Ger Lyons and owned by breeder Homer Scott’s (pictured) son James, all did the business in May.

Meanwhile, Insayshable continues to race prominently in Hong Kong, having won twice as a three-year-old when with Lyons. A winner of a $1.95 million handicap at Sha Tin last December, the gelding, now trained by John Size, has accumulated more than €6 million in prizemoney and finished third in a Group 3 contest at Shat Tin on June 2nd.

Scott, a dual Cheltenham Festival-winning trainer, bought Rajj to race but when injury prevented his charge making the track, he opted to stand him at Lisheen in Kilkea, Co Kildare, given his breeding as a son of Danehill out of a Sadler’s Wells mare.

Now 16 and being brought an improved standard of mare, the results are suggesting that it was a wise move.
