ABISHENA TAKES LEICESTER PRIZE


Mark Johnston's strapping Abishena overcame evident inexperience in the British Stallion Studs Supporting British Racing EBF Maiden Fillies' Stakes at Leicester.

The daughter of Pivotal went off at 16-1 against a slew of interesting types but her chance looked to have gone at half-way, when she stumbled slightly and needed Franny Norton's guile to get her back on track.

James Eustace's newcomer Fulney very nearly caused an 100-1 upset but Abishena forged down the stands rail to put her nose in front on the line.

"She came to us quite late from Darley, but her last two pieces of work had been encouraging," explained Johnston's representative Jock Bennett.

"Franny reckoned she would come on a lot for that and winning today is a bonus. Our two-year-olds have let us down a bit, so that was nice to see."
