Dreamy brings up opening race double for O'Brien and Moore

Having won the opening race on the card, Aidan O'Brien and Ryan Moore combined for a quick double courtesy of Dreamy in the Group 3 Newtownanner Stud Irish EBF Fillies Stakes at the Curragh.

Winner of her maiden at Goodwood earlier this month, the daughter of American Pharoah was sent off 6/5f to keep her unbeaten record intact.

Tracking the leaders in third early on, as stablemate Garden Of Eden led Sigh No More Ryan Moore sent Dreamy to the front over a furlong out.

Keeping on strongly inside the final furlong, the winner had one-and-a-half-lengths in hand of the staying on Fiery Lucy at the finish.

“I'm delighted with her, she's lovely,” said O'Brien.

“Ryan is very impressed with her. She's a baby and he was minding and teaching her. She's a fine big mare.

“We'll see whether we go again or not this year, she doesn't have to.

“Ryan said she was never really engaging at all until they came beside her.”

When asked if she could be a possible Oaks filly he added:- “I'd say that's what she is, a big Oaks filly.”

Paddy Power cut Dreamy to 14/1(from 20) for the Oaks and 10/1(from 25) for the Fillies Mile.
