- Found back to her best in the Mooresbridge

Found back to her best in the Mooresbridge

Found bounced back to her best as she ran out a comfortable winner of the Group 3 Camelot EBF Mooresbridge Stakes.
Having beat the brilliant Golden Horn in the Breeders' Cup Turf at Keeneland last October, the daughter of Galileo was a disappointing third on her return to action in the Alleged Stakes last month.
Sent off an 11/8 chance today she raced in rear under Ryan Moore.
She cruised into third from two furlongs out and was soon tight for room on inner.
A gap developed from the furlong pole and she quickly went through it, hitting the front inside the final furlong before going on to score by a length and a quarter. Success Days (6/1), who finished a place ahead of Found over the course and distance last month, had to settle for second under Shane Foley for Ken Condon after he attempted to make all. Fascinating Rock was sent off the 11/10 favourite and he was a further two and a half lengths back in third under Pat Smullen for Dermot Weld.
Winning trainer Aidan O'Brien said afterwards: "I didn't think she had come forward as much but she obviously did.
"She's still not there and hopefully something to look forward to. The Tattersalls Gold Cup remains the plan.
"Ryan was going to relax her today as she was a little bit keen the last day.
"The plan was the last day, this race and then the Tattersalls. Then we might look at the Coronation but that's not definite. She'd get a break and then have one or two runs before the Arc."
