YOU have to feel for Shane Foley, replaced today by Christophe Soumillon on Jet Setting in the Coolmore Fastnet Rock Matron Stakes, on the filly’s second run for her new owners, China Horse Club.

Foley has ridden the Fast Company filly in her last five races, and she has won three of them: her maiden, the Group 3 Guineas Trial and the Irish 1000 Guineas. Foley was superb on her in the Guineas, taking up the running from early, using his filly’s proven stamina over a mile on soft ground, and showing his strength in a finish to get her home by a head from the brilliant Minding.
