Saoirse strikes again in Moyglare

SAOIRSE Abu was cut for next season’s 1000 Guineas after stamping her quality on the Moyglare Stud Stakes with a hard-fought success at the Curragh yesterday.

Sent off a relatively unconsidered 25-1 chance when upsetting the odds in the Phoenix Stakes last month, the Jim Bolger-trained filly proved that Group One success was no fluke as she put up a convincing display to secure another top-flight prize.

Having always been prominent in the hands of Kevin Manning, she poked her head in front approaching the final furlong as Clive Brittain’s Albabilia began to weaken.
