Returning for her first run back from a break, the Tony McEvoy trained mare raced
on the pace and sped clear to win a heat of the Ladbrokes 55 Second Challenge
in a brisk 55.53 seconds under Luke Currie."It was a really good performance and it's good to have her back," said Tony McEvoy.
"The owners have trusted me with this mare so it's good her her to win at her first run back and now we can look for some Black type races."
A $6,000 Inglis VOBIS Gold Sale purchase from the Kristenvale Stables draft, Desert Lashes has won 10 from 19 starts earning over $400,000 in prizemoney.
She is the best of five winners from the now retired Misha's Bell, a three-quarter sister to Group II winner Silver Glade.
Desert Lashes is one of seven stakes-winners for Reward for Effort, who covered 111 mares at Chatswood Stud last spring.
