Teo’s far too good

DEBUTANTE Teo’s Sister lived up to her billing when landing the opening Irish Stallion Farms Maiden in emphatic style at Leopardstown last night.

The Jim Bolger-trained filly, a full-sister to the illustrious Teofilo, toyed with her opposition, making virtually all the running under Kevin Manning to beat favourite Shiramyina by a length and three-quarters.

It was an impressive, if belated, first step along the road for the striking daughter of Galileo. Bolger explained: “Small little problems, never anything serious, held her back. She even had a footballer’s problem, a hamstring and we got a man who looks after some of the local footballers, Mick Behan, to work on her. I’ve never had one as unlucky as her.
