Viztoria victory sparks Classic dreams

Eddie Lynam believes “the dream is alive” with Viztoria after her scintillating performance at the Curragh on Sunday.

The Oratorio filly was brilliant winner on her Naas debut for Ado McGuinness in July, after which she was switched to care of Co Meath-based Lynam.

She proved that initial effort was no fluke as she ploughed through the Curragh mud to win the Blenheim Stakes by seven and a half lengths under Johnny Murtagh, earning quotes of 20-1 for the 1000 Guineas at Newmarket next spring.
