Found, right, impresses on her debut at the Curragh© Photo Healy Racing
Aidan O’Brien ran three in the juvenile fillies maiden over a mile in the Curragh and it was Found and Seamie Heffernan that delivered in very taking fashion.
The Galileo filly was actually a drifter in the market this morning going from 7/1 to 10/1 and she was allowed to go off at 14/1.
She raced in rear before making notable headway through the field with over a quarter of a mile to race. She tanked along just behind the leaders before powering away under hands and heels in the final furlong to win by three parts of a length.
Her well-backed stablemate Together Forever was beaten into second after leading throughout. She was 9/4 this morning and returned the 11/10 favourite. Back On Top came home third at 5/1.
Aidan O'Brien said: "She is a grand big mare and she was just ready to race. They went steady and then sprinted. I saw her early on and she was at the back and they went slow so she shouldn't have really been able to do that unless she was really smart. She had been working nicely at home.”
This looked to be an above average fillies maiden that could produce plenty of winners. Jessica Harrington’s Bocca Baciata (8/1) was backed off the boards before racing from 20/1 to 6/1. She stayed on well to take fourth on the outer under Shane Foley. She was a head out of the places.
Boylesports introduced Found at 16/1 for the 1,000 Guineas.
