Sea Siren coasts to Belgrave success

Making her Irish debut for Aidan O’Brien, three-time Grade 1 winner Sea Siren landed the featured Belgrave Stakes in Fairyhouse yesterday.

The five-year-old Australian mare travelled well for Joseph O’Brien before hitting the front and, despite idling, beating Rissian Soul by a length and a half in the listed feature.

“She’s an exciting mare, by an exciting sire (Fastnet Rock),” stated the winning rider. “We only have her since Royal Ascot but she has shown loads of pace and a has a great attitude. She travelled and quickened well but idled a bit in front. All the top sprints, over five and six furlongs, are open to her.”
