Hibaayeb won Fillies Mile 2009

Hibaayeb shed her maiden tag with victory in the Meon Valley Stud Fillies' Mile at Ascot. This was Brittain, a trainer of Hibaayeb's third Fillies' Mile success in the last 20 years thanks to Ivanka in 1992 and Teggiano 10 years ago. Hibaayeb had to survive a lengthy stewards' inquiry, but the stewards allowed the result to stand. William Hill was quick to offer 25-1 odds about the 8-1 winner for the Investec Oaks.

Hibaayeb is now guaranteed a place in the Juvenile Fillies' Turf at the Breeders' Cup in California in November.
