GLORIOUS FOR AUSSIES WITH ORTENSIA.

Quote:
Australian raider Ortensia came good in Britain at the third attempt with a classy display in the Gordon's King George Stakes at Glorious Goodwood under William Buick.
A Group One winner in her homeland as well as in Dubai during the winter, big things were expected of Paul Messara's mare when she arrived earlier this season, but she disappointed in the King's Stand before finishing a creditable fourth in the July Cup.
Sent off the 6-1 joint-favourite dropping down to Group Two level, the seven-year-old was towards the rear early on before being unleashed down the centre. Once she found top gear, she soon dashed to the lead and passed the post a ready winner by a length and a quarter.
