Ameerat Jumaira (8/1) followed up a Killarney July festival win with consecutive successes today, landing the CorkRacecourse.ie Rated Race at that course, for joint-trainers Michael Halford and Tracey Collins.
The Australia filly won on handicap debut, rated 65, last month and today defied a 7lb rise when scoring readily from Timeless Piece
Halford reported “he’s a lovely placid filly but she’s fierce green. She's probably better suited to going left-handed but I couldn’t find a race for her. She wasn’t an ideal candidate to be drawn on the wide outside, but Ronan rode her particularly well.
“She’s tall and weak but she’s getting her act together. She’s getting her head in front, which is the important thing, and you’d say that she has the size and scope that if the owners were thinking of keeping her in training for next year, there might be even more to come.”
