The pure joy of winning a Gr.1 as it happens. Well Written's strapper Ava Plimmer, part of Team @marshracing watches her baby win the New Zealand 1000 Guineas at Riccarton Park today. It's a flawless story and we can't to see what the next chapter holds

Well Written has just won the Gr.1 1000 Guineas and @marshracing thinks this horse has a little bit of "freakish" about her. That's the team's first 1000 Guineas and Marshy may have been nervous pre-race but he is clearly thrilled now. @GregORacingNZ
