NO IRISH RACING ON MONDAY: SHAMROCK looks back at an impressive Leopardstown winner on Sunday in the shape of Balansiya.
The nap, Big Break, finished second yesterday, though thankfully we got a little back when Mekong River won the following race at 4/6 to remain unbeaten.
Elsewhere on the card you couldn’t have failed to have been impressed with Balansiya in the opening Irish Stallion Farms E.B.F. Fillies Maiden.
She was making her debut on soft ground and strolled home by seven lengths to win impressively.
It was a great boost for trainer Dermot Weld’s new association with the Aga Khan and the Shamardal filly has earned herself a 16/1 quote from Ladbrokes for next year’s QIPCO 1000 Guineas at Newmarket.
The two-year-old was the first Weld-trained runner for the Aga Khan since the powerful owner-breeder increased his roster of trainers in Ireland earlier in the year.
Weld said: “That was a nice performance by her. She had been working nicely and the few drying days helped her as I think she is a good-ground filly really.
“She wouldn’t have wanted it any softer than that. She is just a lovely filly and hopefully she will make into a stakes filly for next year.”
