Newmarket Saturday

IN normal circumstances, bagging a prestigious Group 3 with a 66/1 outsider would be cause for wild celebrations, but the joy afforded to connections of Sweet Solera Stakes winner Star Of Emaraaty (Kevin Ryan/Kevin Stott) was muted by the realisation that race favourite Fly Miss Helen had suffered an untreatable injury during the race. Her demise understandably puts the race in perspective and condolence go to connections of the filly who looked such a smart prospect when winning on debut at Newbury.
