and held off the challenge of the 20/1 outsider One Voice to win by a neck. Ryan Moore said "She's still a little bit babyish and possibly running downhill and the quick ground wasn't ideal for her, but she's very genuine. She has a great attitude" while Donnacha O'Brien, who was winning his first race in England commented "We were very happy with her coming into the race. Her work had been really good, she was in fantastic form and everything had gone perfectly to plan, so we were full of confidence". On 12 September Fancy Blue started 9/4 favourite for the Matron Stakes over one mile at the Leopardstown Racecourse in which she was again partnered by Moore. After racing towards the rear of the eleven-runner field she made steady progress in the straight but never looked likely to win and finished third behind Champers Elysees and Peaceful.
