Heelywa storms to victory in Spain
The Peninsula
San Sebastian, Spain: Carrying the colours of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Khalifa Al Thani, three-year-old Arabian filly Heelywa broke her maiden, taking the Premio Sheikh Mansoor Festival Maiden at San Sebastian, Spain, on Sunday.
The François Rohaut-trained bay filly was having her second start having finished third on her debut at La Teste De Buch, France, last month. Sent off favourite for the eleven runner race, Heelywa was placed in mid-division and travelled strongly though the early stages of the 2,000m contest, under jockey Valentin Seguy.More Related News
