Bethrah

[3] In September of the following year the yearling filly was entered in the Goffs Millian Sale and was bought for €160, 000 by Hamdan Al Maktoum's Shadwell Estate.

Starting at odds of 20/1 she was reluctant to enter the stalls and finished tenth, behind the British-trained Lucky General, beaten six and a quarter lengths by the winner.

The joint-favourites were the Jim Bolger-trained Atasari (runner-up in the Rockfel Stakes) and the David Wachman-trained Picture Perfect with Bethrah the third choice in the betting on 5/1.
