Edelmira continues Weld’s terrific season

Dermot Weld and Pat Smullen continued their terrific season when Edelmira landed the Group 3 Irish Stallion Farms’ EBF Give Thanks Stakes at Cork last night.

A daughter of Peintre Celebre and unraced as a juvenile, she was having only the third outing of her life and is clearly one for the future.

Edelmira made a fine start when taking her maiden on soft ground at Tipperary, but was subsequently all at sea, on a firm surface, when sixth of seven behind Venus De Milo on this track.
