She's Back

Invincible Spirit (Green Desert-Rafha, by Kris) added a UK group success when 3YO filly Fleeting Spirit (Invincible Spirit-Millennium Tale, by Distant Relative) scored a 2-lengths victory over her older rivals in the £100,000 (A$210,000) Gr2 Temple Stakes (5 furlongs) at Haydock.
Fleeting Spirit (ridden by Ryan Moore for trainer Jeremy Noseda) set a new track record (57.15sec, cutting 1.05sec off the previous mark of 58.2sec) in defeating 6YO gelding Borderlescott ( Compton Place-Jeewan, by Touching Wood) & 8YO gelding Desert Lord (Green Desert-Red Carnival, by Mr Prospector).
Last season as a juvenile, Fleeting Spirit won both the UK Gr2 Flying Childers Stakes (5 furlongs) at Doncaster & Gr3 Molecomb Stakes (5 furlongs) at Goodwood, as well as placing in both the Gr1 Cheveley Park Stakes (6 furlongs) at Newmarket & Gr2 Lowther Stakes (6 furlongs) at York). see also Close relative rated World's 10th top two-year old
