New stakes winner for Kingman

The Archie Watson-trained Parent's Prayer landed her first blacktype win in the Listed Garnet Stakes at Naas on Sunday (18th October).

Taken from the Thoroughbred Daily News, 19th October 2020:

The lightly-raced Kingman filly, Parent's Prayer, proved her third placing in the Fairy Bridge Stakes Gr.3. at Gowran Park (2nd September) to be no fluke with a first blacktype success at Naas. Held up towards the back early having missed the break, the bay moved ominously well between rivals on the home turn before hitting the front passing two out and staying on strongly to the line.

"She's done it well. She loved the ground and travelled through the race very easily," jockey Ben Coen said. "She picked up well at the two pole and I probably got there too soon. She was getting a bit lonely, but she toughed it out to be fair. She loves that ground and that is probably her ideal trip."
