Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted May 4 Journalists Share Posted May 4 Sent off the 6-4 favourite for Sunday's Listed Betfred Pretty Polly Stakes at Newmarket, Shadwell's Falakeyah showed why with a comprehensive success in this Oaks pointer. Labelled a TDN Rising Star after her Wolverhampton debut win in November, the Owen Burrows-trained daughter of New Bay was allowed to bowl along in front from the outset by Jim Crowley. Killing any sign of a contest by the time she entered the dip, the relative of Baaeed and Hukum stayed on well enough to hold the Gosdens' daughter of Night Of Thunder, Life Is Beautiful, at bay and win by 3 1/4 lengths. Strong in the market and the same in the race Falakeyah shows her Pretty Polly Stakes rivals a clean pair of heels under a bold ride from @JimCrowley1978. Is she an Oaks filly in the making? @ShadwellFarm | @ojburrows74 | @Betfred pic.twitter.com/cf57fW0iUv — Racing TV (@RacingTV) May 4, 2025 Sunday, Newmarket, Britain BETFRED PRETTY POLLY STAKES-Listed, £60,000, Newmarket, 5-4, 3yo, f, 10fT, 2:03.34, g/f. 1–FALAKEYAH (GB), 128, f, 3, by New Bay (GB) 1st Dam: Alaflaak, by War Front 2nd Dam: Lahudood (GB), by Singspiel (Ire) 3rd Dam: Rahayeb (GB), by Arazi TDN Rising Star. 1ST BLACK-TYPE WIN.
