Big Break a good start for punters at Leopardstown

From her rails draw in one, the general view was that Big Break would have things pretty simple in the opening Irish Stallion Farms European Breeders Fund Fillies Maiden and so it proved as the heavily-backed favourite (7/4 this morning into 9/10) ran out a convincing winner under Pat Smullen at Leopardstown.

That's most satisfactory and it's great for Leigh. She hasn't been the most straight-forward to train but she loved the 'cut.' The weather has been no help to her this year. On her day she is very classy and she showed that today. Dad will speak to Lord Grimthorpe (the Abdullah racing manager) and she'll likely go for the Knockaire Stakes at Leopardstown now.

Big Break did what we expected. She was very impressive when she won her maiden here on a fast surface and she has done it very well there on a slow surface. Pat (Smullen) said while she may have looked like she was impressive, she'd love better ground. She is a very talented filly and she could be a Guineas contender. I wanted to see how she'd handle today' slow surface and she chopped and changed her legs a bit. On the faster surface she is more explosive and she is a miler with serious gears.

It was an impressive performance and she loves that fast ground. I'll speak to Lord Grimthorpe (the Abdullah racing manager) to see if we run her again. We'll consider the C L Weld Stakes which is named after my father. That's at the Curragh in a few weeks time. If the ground has gone though we'll put her away until next season. I see her as a potential English 1000 Guineas filly, she's very talented. If she has the courage of her full-brother (Famous Name) she won't let us down on many days.
