Reports in which Was (IRE) was mentioned

Review curragh 30th Jun

Ambivalent put up a supremely game performance to see off all-comers in the Oxigen Environmental Pretty Polly Stakes at the CurraghSun 30th Jun

More Murtagh magic on Ambivalent

Roger Varian had been no more than hopeful for Ambivalent in advance of the Group 1 Oxigen Environmental Pretty Polly Stakes, saying: "She won't disgrace herself as she's quite talented. I think the trip and track will be in her favour. She has claims of a placing and we'd obviously be delighted if she could make the frame in a Group 1." Sun 30th Jun

Review curragh 22nd Jul

Great Heavens found a devastating turn of foot in the testing conditions to destroy the opposition in the Darley Irish Oaks at the CurraghSun 22nd Jul

Review curragh 7th Aug

La Collina sprung a 33-1 surprise to take the Keeneland Phoenix Stakes at the Curragh for the Kevin Prendergast yardSun 07th Aug

Was wins on debut

The Aidan O’Brien trained Was made a winning debut in the opening Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Maiden at The Curragh this afternoon, winning well under the trainer’s son Joseph O’Brien. Sun 07th Aug

After race at Curragh Sun, 7th Aug, 2011 (1st)

all my fillies there (Was, Cabin and Purple) ran nicely. Was is a lovely filly and the second filly (Cabin) ran a lovely race too. Was will probably stay well in time and we will take our time with her now . she'll go for a Stakes race next.
