Aidan O’Brien won the opening couple of races at the Curragh, and in race three, the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Maiden honours went the way of the Ballydoyle maestro’s son, Joseph, courtesy of the Declan McDonogh-ridden I Siyou Baby (5/2 favourite).
In the fetching red and white silks of winning owners, Champion Thoroughbreds, McDonogh went clear inside the final furlong on the Siyouni filly to defeat pace-setter Tellthemi’mhere by four lengths.
The 73-rated scorer was getting off the mark at the fourth attempt and O’Brien said: “She won well and is improving with each run. Hopefully she can keep progressing.
“She ran well in Naas the last day and was just beaten. She’s improved again from that and liked the track.”
