Unbeaten
Mon 05 May 2025
Winner 25 of 2025: ANTHELIA, trained by Rod Milman and ridden by Lewis Edmunds. ‘Fitzdares Taking Bets Since 1882 Fillies' Conditions Stakes’ over 5f at Salisbury.
Carrying a 8lbs penalty is never an easy task for any 2-year-old, but our daughter of first-season sire Supremacy was extremely tough to grind out yet another victory, making it two wins from just two starts. She jumped well under Lewis Edmunds and sat just off the leader. In a slowly run race, she was still showing some signs of greenness, but her fantastic attitude in the closing stages helped her to overcome those and she battled hard to take glory in the main event by a narrow margin. A race won by Group Winners Good Vibes, Illuminate and Tiggy Wiggy since 2014.

Timeform commented on her second victory (TFR 84): "Maintained her unbeaten record, her experience edge counting for plenty against newcomers, not that she looked entirely polished herself; pressed leader, travelled fluently, edged ahead entering final 1f, hung right, headed final 100 yds, led again dying strides; she can progress again."
Lewis spoke to Racing TV after the race: "I think she'd have been much better suited if there had been more pace on. She felt like she was full of running at the finish and I only just got her pulled up by the end of the track. The Millmans have always thought quite a lot of her."
