Trainer Kevin Prendergast has announced that Miss Beatrix will have a break until autumn, after finishing unplaced in the Stan James 1000 Guineas at Newmarket. “She's going to have a rest. She came out of Newmarket not so good,” Prendergast explained.

The winner of last year’s Moyglare Stud Stakes finished behind Finsceal Beo at Newmarket on her first trip outside Ireland. “She just didn't travel very well and it was the first time she had been away from home. Maybe that was it,” Prendergast said when asked about Miss Beatrix’s performance.

The trainer informed that Miss Beatrix would be back for an autumn campaign, although they have no definite plans for her yet. “We'll give her a break and then we'll make up our minds where we go,” he said. Pendergast also shared some news about Haatef, and revealed that the colt’s next assignment has not been decided yet and there is no hurry to do so.
