Pam Sly, a small time trainer with only 13 flat horses trained Speciosa today to comfortably win the English 1000 Guineas @ 10/1.
The filly cost only 30,000 guineas (they turned down an offer of $1.1 million late last year).
Quite a difference compared to GW's win yesterday (he was the most expenisve yearling of 2004 sold in Europe - $1.15 million, and owned by Coolmore) - on the other hand, Speciosa is very quirky too, always hangs left.
Just shows, it can be done...
