Encapsulation impresses on second start Encapsulation opened her account in good style when running out a comprehensive winner of the Happy Easter To All Our Patrons Maiden at Clonmel this afternoon. Colin Keane settled his mount behind the leaders in the extended nine furlong contest before asking her to take closer order at the two pole. Noel Meade's charge hit the front a furlong-and-a-half from home and asserted in the closing stages to record a four-and-three-quarter length success. The 11/4 favourite had finished fourth on her debut at Leopardstown 15 days ago. "She is a nice filly and is pretty decent. The owners had her and couldn't get her sold as she was a big, big, weak filly as a two year old and we just had to leave her alone,” said Meade. "She has done nothing but improve and improve and improve and Colin said she still didn't know what she was doing there today. "You wouldn't know but that filly could get herself into Stakes class. Maybe I'm wrong but she's that type of a filly and I'd say she is a filly going places. "The guys that own her have her for sale and if someone comes in with enough money, that will be the next question." (Quotes by Tom Weekes)
