Patrick Wadge rode a St Patrick's Day winner this afternoon as former Irish point-to-point winner Girl Friday made a victorious start to her career under rules at Wetherby.
Purchased for £45,000 by Old Gold Racing at Tattersalls November Sale at Cheltenham, she took the Entertain In Style At Wetherby Racecourse Mares' 'National Hunt' Maiden Hurdle over
two miles and three and a half furlongs on her debut for the Mick and David Easterby yard.
After pressing the leader throughout the race Girl Friday disputed lead three out before hitting the front two from home and staying on well to defeat the 111-rated 11/10 favourite Sallyville Lady by four lengths. She was returned at rewarding odds of 20/1.
