Donna Blini

[8] On 1 June, ridden by Jimmy Fortune, she started favourite for the Listed Hilary Needler Trophy at Beverley Racecourse but was beaten a length into second by the 16/1 outsider Clare Hills.

[10] After a break of twelve weeks, Donna Blini returned for the Group One Cheveley Park Stakes at Newmarket in which she was again partnered by Kinane and started at odds of 12/1 in a ten-runner field.

Kinane had sustained a double fracture of the wrist in August and was returning to the saddle after undergoing multiple therapy sessions in a hyperbaric chamber.

[12] After the race Kinane said "Brian gave Donna Blini a break after I won on her in July and when I saw her today she looked marvellous and had really blossomed.

We debated going to the Lowther Stakes and all sorts of things, the Moyglare and even the Doncaster sales race with all that money, but we felt it was best to wait and give her time.

Ridden by Dettori, she was amongst the leaders from the start and won by three quarters of a length from Majestic Missile with The Trader (Prix du Gros Chêne) in third.

[14] Dettori was again in the saddle when the filly contested the Group Three King George Stakes at Goodwood Racecourse on 3 August and finished sixth of the eighteen runners behind the five-year-old mare La Cucaracha.

She finished sixth behind Dixie Belle in the World Trophy at Newbury and eleventh of thirteen behind Fantasy Believer in the Listed Rous Stakes at Newmarket.

At the end of her racing career, Donna Blini was offered for sale at Tattersalls in November 2005 and was bought for 500,000 guineas by Katsumi Yoshida [ja].
