Goffs Million filly secures first stakes success

Last year's Goffs Million winner One Look (13/8f) got her season back on track with a first stakes win today, landing Killarney's Listed Irish EBF Vincent O'Brien Ruby Stakes for owners Connolly Racing Syndicate.
The Gleneagles-filly qualified for September's Goffs Million race by selling at the 2022 Goffs Orby sale (for €65,000) and while she dramatically won that €616,000-to-the-winner contest, today ended a three-race losing spell when overcoming in-running traffic to score under jockey Bill Lee.
Winning trainer Paddy Twomey reported “I was very disappointed the day she was beaten in Galway but, to be fair, there were positives to take out of that run and she backed it up in Gowran. She got her season back on track at Gowran and I thought she was in good form today.”
He added “I think she likes confusion; it was the same in Gowran and also in the Goffs Million but seems to like coming through horses and has the class to do that.”
“It was a wet, cold spring and some of these fillies can take a bit of time. She is a nice filly, is a stakes winner now and you'd imagine going to the Denny Cordell Lavarack Stakes in Gowran next month could be next.”
