Champion trainer Aidan O'Brien and stable jockey Ryan Moore combined for a Curragh four-timer today, completing their weekend haul with High Chieftess (7/1) in the Barberstown Castle Irish EBF (Fillies) Maiden.
By Galileo and out of top-juvenile racemare Tiggy Wiggy, High Cheiftess today scored readily in first-time blinkers to provide both O'Brien and Moore with their seventh wins at the Curragh this weekend.
O’Brien, earlier successful with debutante Matrika Group 1 winner Luxembourg and promoted Drumroll said, “she (High Chieftess) has just taken a bit of time and you can see why. Her dam was small but every month she’s grown and grown.
“She’s a big filly now but still a bit babyish and that is why the blinkers are on her. Who knows what she will progress into.”
