Side with Silk

SILK DRESS appears to have been dropped sufficiently in class to finally enjoy a turn in the Outlier Fillies Race at Clonmel tonight.

John Murphy’s daughter of Gulch once held a lofty rating of 102, but, you suspect, her current mark of 92 still overestimates her ability somewhat.

The reason the handicapper held such a high opinion of her is based on the fact Silk Dress finished a highly creditable second to Arch Swing in a Group 3 at the Curragh last September.
