THE YEAR OF THE FILLIES . . . . .
With nominations now closed for quite a few of the 2015 stakes races, it looks like the fillies will be taking centre stage this season:

The Junior Welsh Dragoness staged at the Tregaron Festival in August (28-30th) has an impressive 47 2YO fillies nominated – Click Here to View Entries
The SHRC 2YO, the Sire Stakes and the BHRC Classic races are amongst those yet to close nominations. The Sire Stakes at present is following the trend with slightly more fillies in the 2YO division. It will be interesting to see the Yearling nominations to predict the balance for next season!
