Chenchikova dances to debut success

CHENCHIKOVA, a full-sister to multiple Group One winner High Chaparral, was an impressive winner on her racecourse bow at Tipperary yesterday.

Aidan O’Brien chose to give the Sadler’s Wells filly a relatively easy introduction in the Irish Stallion Farms European Breeders Fund (Fillies) Maiden rather than tackle some better class events at the weekend.

Chenchikova was uneasy in the market ahead of the seven and a half furlong contest, opening at 4-6 before going off the 5-4 market leader.
