Capuchinero was claimed for €15,000 following her win in Dundalk's Book At DundalkStadium.com Claiming Race today, with the Joseph O'Brien-trained filly moving to Seamus Fahey's yard.
Ridden by Hugh Horgan, the Holy Roman Emperor-sired filly was produced from mid-division to lead inside the final furlong and beat Ghumama by a length.
Before being officially claimed, trainer O'Brien's assistant Brendan Powell reported “she's genuine and tough. Joseph bought her for 13,000gns and she's won two.
“She's sound and she tries. It's nice for Hugh, he missed a winner here last time when he wasn't very well.
“The owners are a syndicate (Thoroughbred Racing) and with horses like that, they have to move on as they've got a load of two-year-olds.”
Capuchinero was claimed by John M Keogh, to be trained by Seamus Fahey, with runner-up Ghumama (claimed for €6,000 by James McAuley), fourth-placed Cometh The Man (€4,000 to John McConnell) and seventh-placed Lion Ring (€9,000, to owner James Martin, trainer Andrew J Martin) all moving house.
