Fox Valley is a horse that returned to the promise of her debut in a four-year-old mares’ maiden at Durrow in March 2017, a performance which saw her finish third, by winning on her fourth outing at Kinsale on the final weekend of the season. Waiting for better ground later in the campaign appeared to pay off, as the daughter of Wareed looked to thrive on the good ground at Kinsale, where she took up the running after the third-last and from that point only went further and further clear. In fact the race was well sewn-up by the final fence such was her authority over her rivals, as she quickly followed the success at Loughanmore of her half-sister Getaway Honey just weeks earlier. Getaway Honey has added to the pedigree by winning a bumper at Stratford, and there is no reason that Fox Valley cannot also develop into a productive good ground performer.
