Bianca Jewel Wins Princess Stakes

Multiple Gr1-winning former Coolmore shuttler Lion Heart (Tale of the Cat-Satin Sunrise, by Mr Leader) added a black-type success when daughter Bianca Jewel (Lion Heart-St Covet Girl, by St Covet) prevailed in a 3-way photo-finish to the $100,000 Listed Princess Stakes (1600m) for 3YO fillies at Eagle Farm in Brisbane. Bianca Jewel (ridden by Ryan Wiggins for trainer Steven O'Dea) scored by a long-neck from Hidden Kisses (Hidden Dragon-Kiss An Angel, by Piccolo) with a further short-head to Wabeel (Commands-Yabeel, by Zabeel). Bianca Jewel now has 4 wins & 4 placings (including 2010's Listed Gold Edition Plate over 1200m at Doomben & QTIS 600 2YO Plate over 1200m at the Gold Coast) from 12 starts for $441,500 earnings.
