SIERRA third at 90/1


Readers of the blog would have ignored her Vincennes run on Tuesday night when she never got clear and the plugs and blinds were never pulled. But there are not many of them (!) so she was sent out at the ridiculous odds of 90/1 (given her Mauquenchy third) and finished a progressive third (13.70 for a place). She was less happy right-handed after racing twice left-handed and you will see from the video that she was on one rein in the straight and couldn't be driven out, so could have been even closer. Very good news is that she has learned to drop the bit and stop pulling (it seems), so we look forward to a 2150m autostart at Enghien on 8th october.
