TIGGY WIGGY REIGNS SUPREME IN THE CHEVELEY STAKES
By Racing Correspondent | 28 Sep 2014 |
Tiggy Wiggy, the daughter of Kodiac from the stables of Richard Hannon scored a confident victory in the G1 Cheveley Park Stakes at Newmarket. This was the youngster’s sixth win from eight starts and the first at the highest level.
Alert as always at the gates, Tiggy Wiggy was the smartest out and was held well early by Richard Hughes despite the filly’s eagerness to move clear. Anthem Alexander and Tendu raced closed behind till the last three furlongs. Inside the last two furlongs Tiggy Wiggy broke clear and stayed well to spare a good three quarters of a length to Anthem Alexander. High Celebrity slow at start ran on on the straight to finish third another 1 ¼ lengths away.
“She was brilliant and what she did today was settle really well,” said Richard Hughes. “I got a very soft lead and I didn’t increase the pace until just before the two-pole, so I knew it was going to take a very good one to get by me. She was very good at the start and the more we can keep the lid on her, the better she is when she jumps out. She won quite easily and does more than that in a morning. She’s definitely four inches bigger than she was in the spring and is turning into a beautiful filly. She’s a credit to the team and to Richard Hannon.”
“She’s a very good filly and this has proved to everyone that you can buy one for £40,000 and get a top-class one,” commented trainer Richard Hannon. “We’ll have a look at the [Oct. 5] G1 Prix de l’Abbaye de Longchamp [against elders], as this is her year,” he added.
