Manhattan Dreamer's connections© Photo Healy Racing
Trainer Adrian Murray, jockey Mikey Sheehy and owners Amo Racing combined for Dundalk doubles today, scored initially with impressive out-of-season winner Elegant Man before Manhattan Dreamer (7/2) won the the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden.
Dubai-bound Elegant Man was a rare 108-rated course runner in January and while Manhattan Dreamer has less ability, was nonetheless a useful winner of the concluding maiden, overcoming a wide draw in stall 14 to beat Emerald Eclipse by a half-length.
Murray reported “Manhattan Dreamer is a nice filly and Mikey said that that (seven furlongs) is her trip and loves the surface.
"She is one that came over from America, didn't seem to be doing a whole lot there but has been progressing since she came back.
"She has a lovely pedigree, has potential and has a bit of size and scope so should fill out. She will come back here again and then probably run on the turf. We will take it step by step."
