Tamadhor boost for 1,000 Guineas form

Tamadhor gave Tattersalls Irish 1,000 Guineas form a boost when landing the Book Tickets On-Line @fairyhouse.ie Race for Kevin Prendergast and Chris Hayes in Fairyhouse last night.

Beaten less than four lengths in sixth behind Pleascach in the fillies classic, the uneasy 9/10 favourite tracked the front-running Geoffrey Chaucer before being eased to the front two furlongs out and running on well to beat last year’s winner Slipper Orchid by two lengths.

“It was a good opportunity for her, although dropping back to seven furlongs wasn’t ideal,” commented winning trainer Prendergast. “They went no pace and it became more of a sprint. But Chris was in the right place all the way and she won well.
