Expectations was high and Tahiyra delivered, landing the first Group 1 of Irish Champions Festival with a one-and-a-quarter-length victory in the Coolmore America Justify Matron Stakes at Leopardstown.
The Irish 1000 Guineas heroine initially announced herself as a special filly when scoring in the Group 1 Moyglare Stud Stakes in stunning fashion at the Curragh’s Irish Champions Festival leg 12 months ago.
