Amo's well-bred Spicy Margarita bags maiden win Amo Racing’s well-bred Spicy Margarita (7/2jf) scored on her second start today as the daughter of 2008 Falmouth Stakes winner Nahoodh landed the Irishinjuredjockeys.com Fillies Maiden under jockey Wayne Lordan. A half-sister to two stakes winners including a Japanese Group 2 winner, Spicy Margarita was well held in a Galway maiden on debut last October but today quickened well in the final furlong to easily beat Wannabe Royal. Winning trainer Adrian Murray said "it was a lovely performance: I didn't think she was a world-beater but she did it well there today and Wayne was just saying that she would have no problem seeing out a mile. "She has a great pedigree and cost plenty (150,000gns as a yearling) but looks like she could repay all that now. I'd say if something comes up here before the turf, we would probably come back here. He (Lordan) said he thinks she would handle a cut in the ground: her first run was on heavy in Galway. You would be hoping she would be ground-versatile." Quotes from Michael Graham
