Racing: Speciosa gave trainer Pam Sly a fairytale success as she ran out an impressive winner of the Stan James 1000 Guineas at Newmarket..
Michael Fenton was smartly away on the 10-1 shot and she made all to notch a landmark victory
for her Cambridgeshire handler. Confidential Lady (12-1) kept on to finish second, with 16-1 chance Nasheej in third.
Speciosa, who also won the Nell Gwyn Stakes at this track last month, set a sensible early pace to head the stands side group, while Donna Blini led a group of four racing down the middle of the course.
Fenton always had the filly travelling sweetly on the rail and she was still swinging along in front as her rivals began to toil hitting the two-furlong marker.
Although Confidential Lady tried to make a race of it, Speciosa just had too many guns and she powered out of the Dip to win by two and a half lengths.
Confidential Lady, a first Classic runner for Sir Mark Prescott, held Nasheej by a length for the runner-up spot.
