Adaay In Devon (GB) (Adaay {Ire}) collected her fourth bonus from Great Britain Bonus in a conditions stakes at Leiscester Tuesday, becoming the first Flat filly to accomplish the feat since the scheme launched in 2020.
“Adaay In Devon has been a pleasure to train and we've been absolutely delighted with her progress,” said trainer Rod Millman.
After three runs and two placings, Adaay In Devon had her first win, including a £20,000 bonus, at Windsor Aug. 7 where the filly won convincingly in a Class 5 Maiden Fillies' S. Her second win came just 19 days later on Aug. 26 at Goodwood in the Class 4 Novice S. With £40,000 in the coffers, the filly returned Sept. 13 to win at Carlisle racecourse, landing her third £20,000 bonus.
Millman added, “We hoped to win one bonuses so to have won four is fantastic. It's great for her owners–they're just smaller owner breeders so to reward them like this is great.”
On the Flat, any Class 2 – 5 maiden, novice or conditions race in Britain is covered by a GBB bonus.
The scheme is supported by the HBLB and is managed by the Thoroughbred Breeders Association whose Chairman, Philip Newton said, “We're delighted to be able to support a super filly like this and we're thrilled for her connections. It takes careful race planning to achieve four bonuses on the Flat so Rod's efforts have to be applauded. If you ever needed proof that breeding and racing a British-bred filly can be a profitable Affair, Adaay in Devon is it.”
