[Nathan Hughes]

Favourite filly Ouija Board.

Midway Lady,dual classic winner and underrated.

At the time worked with someone whos brother worked in Ben Hanbury’s stable.Received many a whisper but heard about her long before her racecourse debut("best horse ever in the stables") and steamed in on her first run.Her only career defeat but I got my money back and more thereafter.

Rose Bowl and Bosra Sham were other favourites.

Favourite fillies – mmmmmmm,a tough one for me as there have been so many good ones over the years, but here are a few of mine.

I don’t expect younger racing fans to have heard of all the fillies on this list, but hopefully all of them will be remembered by different people on this forum :

Marisela
Allez France
Dahlia
La Lagune
Riverqueen
Applecross
Indian Skimmer
Kerkura
Urban Sea
User Friendly
Time Charter

and many others……

[rory]

Al Bahathri a shocking omission. Big mentions to Time Charter and Triptych.

[Bulwark]

Forgot about Al Bahathri and Urban Sea, shame on me…

[Venusian]

I loved those two greys, Petite Etoile and Indian Skimmer – poetry in motion.

The beefy Park Top and Ouija Board are two others worth mentioning.

[zafonic]

Balanchine
Bosra Shan
User Friendly- does anyone remember listening to the St Leger on radio 5? will never forget Peter Bromley calling her home, in a shouting husky voice "Here comes the filly", its amazing what the old grey matter remembers.

[clivex]

User friendly doing it on ground she hated too..wonderful

[BennyB]

Lady Carla – pocket talking as had first big win (of very few I might add) on her as a schoolboy when she won the Oaks.

Ouija Board – (obviously)!

Dubacilla – a very tough mare

[Fist of Fury 2k8]

Dubacilla…….eh if we are talking mares Dawn Run could be worth a mention.

Great to see Henry Candy’s Time Charter mentioned…….so reliable, she won fortunes for punters…great filly

[Running Rein]

Peeping Fawn may be as good as many mentioned above.

Whilst not of the very top echelon…Petrushka and Imagine were particular favourites.

[daiesy]

Time Charter is a bit 2 old for me, but i remember Airwave lol.

I used to go one names of fillies before i got into Flat racing, so;

Nice One Clare
Gossamar
Mauri Moon
Karamah (only ran a couple of times but i vaguely remember her being mentioned when gossamar beat her at newmarket first time out)
Snowfire
Kazzia
Islington

Eveningpeformance i don’t remember, but my mum loved her!

I used to follow Henry Cecil’s yard during the Cauthen years so Oh So Sharp, Indian Skimmer and Diminuendo were great favourites.

Also a fan of Pebbles, Al Bahathri, Triptych, Soba, Habibti, Salsabil, Marwell and Soviet Song.

I’m sure I’ve forgotten a couple.

[smallbutmighty]

Salsabil
Marling
Culture Vulture

Mysilv and Brief Gale (Sun Alliance winner)
