‘The Future Is Still Very Bright’ – Shes Perfect Sidelined by Setback

[Wandering Eyes]

The Charlie Fellowes-trained Shes Perfect has suffered a setback which could potentially keep her out of action until next year.

Last seen finishing down the field in the G1 Prix de Diane, Shes Perfect arrived at Chantilly having already proved herself a high-class filly, notably finishing first past the post in the G1 Poule d'Essai des Pouliches, before being demoted by the ParisLongchamp stewards for causing interference to her closest pursuer, Zarigana.

The G3 Valiant Stakes run at Ascot later this month had been identified as the next port of call for the daughter of Sioux Nation, but her connections are now plotting an autumn return in the event that all goes to plan with her recovery.

“I'm afraid Shes Perfect has had a setback. It will be touch and go as to whether we see her again this year,” said Fellowes. “She's going to need a few weeks on the easy list and we are hopeful of having her back in time for the [G1 Prix de la] Foret.

“It's nothing serious, but she will require a little bit of time off. We will work backwards from the Foret, but if it's not the right thing to do then we will put her away and she will be back bigger and better next year.

“She's a lovely filly and she's only going to improve next year. The future is still very bright.”
