THERE could not have been a more appropriate winner of the Listed Coolmore Champs Elysees EBF Mares’ Flat Race at Fairyhouse last weekend than Fayonagh.

On the same day that a Grade 3 race for mares was run in honour of Solerina, the John Bowe-bred Fayonagh, out of a half-sister to that great racemare, ran out a 20-length winner and added valuable blacktype to her race record and to the family pedigree.
