Whilst I understand comparing race times is not necessarily an accurate exercise it does indicate just how much Elli is away from peak fitness. The winner by the way (Avenida Madero) ran 1:21:91.

Bearing in mind there are around 6 listed / group races (1200 -1400) over the Ascot summer carnival to come, if Elli can stay sound I’m sure she’ll earn her share of the prize money.
