SPIETH HEROINE IS COMING HOME
The Straits Times
|July 07, 2024
Trainer Peters' filly all set to score overdue win after squandering chances recently
By the time Spieth Heroine steps out in the $20,000 Maiden race (1,400m) at 1pm on July 7, British trainer James Peters would know if his country's XI is through to the Euro 2024 semi-finals.
England played against Switzerland in a quarter-final match at Dusseldorf 13 hours earlier at 12am (Singapore time).
Win or lose (result not available at press time), the proud West Ham United fan would have to unfortunately endure more anxious moments, albeit not as long as 90 minutes, for the maiden three-year-old filly at Kranji.
While racing and football are two totally different sports, watching the daughter of Spieth come so close and yet so far must have felt like the same rollercoaster ride of seeing England through by the skin of their teeth despite a string of underwhelming performances.
