Smart Call 3rd in England Gr2

After more than 14 months off the track, Smart Call made her English debut in the Gr2 Betfred Middleton Stakes, having last raced when easily winning the Gr1 J&B Met in Cape Town. Smart Call ran on strongly over the final 100 metres or so, failing narrowly to take 2nd place away from The Black Princess. The surprise winner, Blond Me, was a little over a length ahead of the pair, with the  Breeders' Cup F&M Turf winner, and Smart Call's stablemate, back in fourth.
