RICHARD FAHEY is in no rush to make future plans for Barefoot Lady after she turned in another fine performance to finish third in the Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot.
The three-year-old flew home to land the Nell Gwyn Stakes at Newmarket on her first start of the year and she did her connections proud when fifth in the 1,000 Guineas next time out.
She was beaten just a head when tackling ten furlongs for the first time in the Musidora Stakes and gave her all for Kieren Fallon to pick up minor honours behind the French fillies Immortal Verse and Nova Hawk.
Malton-based Fahey said: “She’s come out of the race grand and we’re delighted with her. She’s just so tough and never runs a bad race.
“She was staying on well at the end making you think she could go back up to a mile and a quarter, but I just thought she’d got to the end of her elastic band over that trip in the Musidora at York.
“We’ll just see how she is over the next couple of weeks and make some plans, but I’ve got nothing in mind at the moment.”
