Seeharn stakes Moyglare claim

SEEHARN staked her claim as a realistic Moyglare Stud Stakes contender when landing the listed Ballygallon Stud Balanchine Stakes at the Curragh last night.

Owned by Norman Ormis ton, the Pivotal filly got the better of speedy favourite Moonlit Garden and the fast-finishing longshot Gatamalata by a length to follow-up her debut success over course and distance.

Her trainer Kevin Prendergast, who saddled Termagent to win the Group 1 Moyglare last year, commented: “She’s a very smart filly but, by Pivotal, she hates that ground — that’s why she didn’t win by four lengths. She deserves a break now. She’ll be competitive at a higher level and won’t run again until the Moyglare and if it comes up soft for it, there’ll be no danger.”
