Solana scores in Chesham Stakes-winning colours Solana Beach (7/1) scored for this summer’s Royal Ascot-winning connections of owner Craig Bernick, jockey Seamie Heffernan and trainer Fozzy Stack today, shedding her maiden status in Gowran’s 1xBet.ie Proud Supporters Of Irish Racing Handicap. The trio had landed the Chesham Stakes with Nola Soul in June and, today, Solana Beach raced behind the leaders and finished well to score by a neck from Ninth Crusade . Stack, whose Thesecretadversary had also scored at Royal Ascot before landing July’s Group 1 Prix Jean Prat, reported “Solana Beach ran well here the last day but I haven't been able to run her, as she needs a bit of an ease in the ground. She's been on a summer holiday. “She might improve away. She's a big filly and might strengthen up a bit too next year. Hopefully, she keeps improving." Quotes from John O’Riordan
