Donnacha's juvenile wins in Style

Do It With Style (3/1) made a winning debut in the Irish EBF Median Sires Series Maiden for Donnacha O'Brien and Gavin Ryan.

Held up towards rear out in the centre of the track as the leaders came up the near-side rail, the daughter of Ten Sovereigns picked up well in the final quarter-mile and collared Ocean Baroque inside the final furlong. The winning margin was a length.

The winner cost 235,000 Euros at the Orby Sale and is a half-sister to four winners, all of whom scored at two.

“We thought she was smart. I was a little bit worried about the ground, she'll be better on better ground, but it was nice to see her do that,” said O'Brien.

“She was a bit green early as well so I think she did very well to quicken up the way she did.

“I'll speak to the owners and we'll see but I suppose the Albany could definitely be an option.

“Usually on that track when it pans out like that it's a big disadvantage to be away from the rail and she was a bit green but Gavin gave her a nice ride. He let her have a chance early and then she finished off really well.”
