Beauty completes Challenge hat-trick with minimum of fuss

PROFOUND Beauty completed a hat-trick in the listed Challenge Stakes at Leopardstown last night, justifying 2/5 favouritism with the minimum of fuss.

The Dermot Weld trained mare swept past front-running Spinning Wings with a furlong and a half to race before drawing clear to win, eased down, by five and a half lengths from Drumfire.

Weld, the winner’s biggest fan, declared: “She’s a joy to train, one of the best mares I’ve trained or will train. She’s a superb racemare, and so consistent.”
