Banimpire wins Blue Wind Stakes

Wed 11th May 2011, 19:25

Trainer Jim Bolger has the Irish Guineas in mind for Banimpire which completed a hat-trick of wins in the featured Group 3 Irish Stallion Famrs EBF Blue Wind Stakes at Naas this evening.

Banimpire claimed the notable scalp of the below-par Recital when winning at Leopardstown on her latest start but followed up that win with a comfortable success over Spin

Afterwards Bolger mentioned “Banimpire will probably go for the Irish Guineas next but will probably avoid the Epsom Oaks. Distance-wise I don’t think it matters to her.”
