No fuss for swift Coach at Tipp The Irish Stallion Farms European Breeders Fund Maiden looked Coach House's for the taking and the Ballydoyle juvenile certainly didn't fluff his lines in the Tipperary opener. Anyone that invested at 2/5 (from 4/7) never really had any cause for concern as the Curragh runner-up jumped out with a catch me if you can approach against five opponents having their first tastes of racecourse action. Coach House stretched on under Joseph O'Brien from over a furlong out to beat his only serious market-rival, Heart Focus (a 7/2 shot, 9s bar the two) by six and a half lengths. Joseph O'Brien said: "He improved plenty and he's a lovely horse with plenty of pace. He'll get six furlongs and he's got a really good attitude." Coach House is a Group 1 Keeneland Phoenix Stakes entrant for the Curragh in August. He is also in at the Curragh next Monday as well as races cross-channel at Doncaster and Redcar in the autumn.
