Leopardstown races

She's not a Group Two winner yet and the Ridgewood Pearl Stakes at the Curragh and the Duke of Cambridge at Royal Ascot are likely options. But she is in the Lockinge and I wouldn't rule it out. “Then obviously we'll look at fillies' races and I' ...

“She was just ready to run today and it’s just wherever she takes us now. “We think a lot of her. “I have her in the Lockinge, but I doubt she’ll go there. My owner was less keen than me to run, but I liked the idea of running in a prep race like this,” said Twomey. But she is in the Lockinge and I wouldn’t rule it out. I’d say she’d suit America.

High-class mare Pearls Galore returned to action with victory in the Listed Gradguide Heritage Stakes at Leopardstown on Wednesday.

Pearls Galore might prove best in a competitive renewal of the listed Gradguide Heritage Stakes on Student Raceday in Leopardstown.

In the one-mile fillies maiden, I’ll side with Aidan O’Brien’s Only ahead of Grian An Tsamhra, a promising third behind two smart fillies, Perfect Thunder and Toy, on her recent debut at the Curragh, and the once-raced Sierra Nevada. This well-regarded American Pharoah filly ran a race full of promise on debut at this track last October, staying on well to finish third behind Villanova Queen (third in the Guineas Trial at Leopardstown last Saturday), with two of todays’ rivals, Thoughts Of June and Emily Dickinson behind. Pearls Galore triumphed in both the Brownstown Stakes at Fairyhouse and the Fairy Bridge in Tipperary, both at Group 3 level last summer. And she acquitted herself well when tackling top level action for the first time in the Matron at Leopardstown in September, failing by a neck to No Speak Alexander. Paddy Twomey’s five-year-old mare is a dual Group 3 winner, filled the runner-up berth twice in Group 1 company last season and might be capable of starting her season on a high, despite having to shoulder a 5lb.
