Found poised to extend Moore’s record-breaking exploits in feature

Found can extend the record-breaking exploits of jockey Ryan Moore by taking the Coronation Stakes this afternoon at Royal Ascot.

The Aidan O’Brien-trained filly won the Prix Marcel Boussac last season, but was disappointing on her return, on heavy ground at the Curragh early last month. However, she showed marked improvement for the outing when beating all bar Pleascach in the Irish 1000 Guineas on her next and most recent run.

Although the winner was beaten in yesterday’s Ribblesdale Stakes, the longer trip and the fact they didn’t go fast enough to allow her settle were contributory factors and should do little to detract from the Curragh form. Found is entitled to come on again for that run, and will take a world of beating.
