Poppy Foxy landed the EBF Fillies Final result at 25/1 on Wednesday, according to the official record. The two-year-old filly, trained by Charlie Clover and ridden by Rossa Ryan, defeated 3/1 favourite Zigazig Ah by 0.2 lengths over seven furlongs.
The EBF Fillies Final result proved a surprise on a card where the market was called into question throughout. Poppy Foxy’s lengthy odds and narrow winning margin underlined the depth of the two-year-old fillies’ division. In the EBF Fillies Final result, Eabha and Flooding rounded out the placings third and fourth, separated by a combined 1.5 lengths.
