Blow for Fellowes and Basher Watts, as Shes Perfect meets with setback After a dramatic Classic season, Shes Perfect faces a temporary setback, but connections remain optimistic about a return later in the year. Shes Perfect Sidelined After Classic Campaign Drama Charlie Fellowes’ French 1000 Guineas runner-up Shes Perfect has met with a setback, although an autumn return is not out of the question. The chestnut’s success story for syndicate owners Basher Watts Racing has been one of the tales of the season so far, with her second in the Prix de la Grotte to Zarigana introducing her as a three-year-old to follow throughout her Classic year. She then crossed the line first in the French Guineas, seemingly turning the tables on Zarigana, but was controversially demoted to second before being denied the reinstatement of the victory in a later appeal. Her career has now been interrupted by a minor issue, with the Prix de la Forêt a target in autumn but not one that she will be rushed towards if she is not ready. Fellowes Remains Hopeful Despite Uncertain Timeline “I’m afraid Shes Perfect has had a setback, it will be touch and go as to whether we see her again this year,” said Fellowes. “She’s going to need a few weeks on the easy list and we are hopeful of having her back in time for the Foret.”
