Signora Cabello remains on target for the Prix Morny at Deauvile — despite being given an entry in the Lowther Stakes at York four days later.

Trainer John Quinn is keen to test his youngster at the highest level after she won the Queen Mary at Royal Ascot and then the Group Two Prix Robert-Papin at Maisions-Laffitte.

That means Signora Cabello will be aimed at the Morny on August 19 instead of taking up an engagement in the Group Two Lowther.

Malton-based Quinn said: “I’m very happy with her. She has come out of the Papin in good shape.

“I’ve put her in the Morny and she’s also in the Lowther the week after.

“The plan is to go to France, though. She’s a dual Group Two winner now and we want to see if she is capable of running at that level.

“We think she’s worthy of a place in the field.”

My Racing Story. Jane Carpenter

I'm from just outside Kells, Co Meath and I suppose racing has always been a passion of mine. I do love the sport, and it is brilliant to make a career out of it now. My family are huge racing fans and I suppose the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Racing is a highly discussed topic at home with my family as well as farming. The racing is never off the TV. We take an annual family holiday to Galway every year. We go down for the week, and I've been going since I was a child. It is a proper family tradition now. We have going to the same house for the races I'd say for 14 or 15 years now. There are so many bedrooms there and some of my friends from home come down towards the weekend. It is a proper good holiday, and it is always in our calendars every single year. We were in Punchestown recently after Fairyhouse, so we would be big supporters of going racing. My parents are farmers, so I wouldn't have a close association with horses. I grew up on the farm, and I've been surrounded by animals all of my life. I know at first hand the effort, work and dedication that goes into animals and caring for them. I would have helped dad out on the farm alongside my two brothers. We still try to give a hand when time allows. We've no horses here on the farm, but I'm extremely confident that we will one day! I used to do a bit of riding when I was younger at my local equestrian centre. Things just got in the way then, but last summer I took it back up as a hobby. I'm really enjoying that again.
