In the UK, Invincible Spirit (Green Desert-Rafha, by Kris) added a black-type success when Irish-bred 4YO entire Captain Marvelous (Invincible Spirit-Shesasmartlady, by Dolphin Street) gained the judge's verdict in a 3-way photo-finish to the £30,000 (A$63,000) Listed Leicestershire Stakes (7 furlongs) for 4YOs & up at Leicester.
Captain Marvelous (ridden by Michael Hills for trainer Barry Hills) scored by a head from fast-finishing favourite & fellow Irish-bred Al Qasi (Elnadim-Delisha, by Salse) with a further neck to Eisteddfod (Cadeaux Genereux-Ffestiniog, by Efisio).
As a 2YO in 2006, Captain Marvelous won France's Gr2 Criterium De Maisons-Lafitte (1200m) & finished 3rd in the UK Gr1 Shadwell Middle Park Stakes (6 furlongs) at Newmarket; he was a €100,000 (A$170,000) yearling at the Goffs November Sale.
