📰 Saturday's G1 Thousand Guineas winner Saintly Dancer has pulled up well. Tim Wilson from @FirstLight_FLR has confirmed she will go to the paddock. Races like the Angus Armanasco and Kewney in the Melbourne autumn are on the radar before a planned trip to Sydney.

Wet or dry, Saintly Dancer doesn't care.
Two weeks ago she bolted in by six lengths on a Heavy 10 at Flemington. Today on a Good 4 she won the Thousand Guineas, turning the tables on Icelady, who beat her in the Prelude.
Paid $4.60 SP. Who was on?

She's done it again - now a Group One winner!
