First win for €3m filly Three-million euro purchase History shed her maiden tag at the third attempt today, landing Gowran's Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden for trainer Aidan O'Brien, a four-member Coolmore grouping and jockey Wayne Lordan. Bought for 2,800,000gns (roughly €3.4m) at Tattersalls in October 2020 by the 'traditional' Coolmore triumvirate of Tabor/Smith/Magnier, the Galileo-sired filly is also part-owned by Westerberg, the racing operation of Georg von Opel and today scored in smart style, from Clemmie C. Following the race Lordan commented “it was pretty straight forward. She feels like she is improving all the time and today she quickened up like a smart filly. “Her form is holding up as well. Going to a mile was a help for her but she’s sharpening up. I think her trip will be a mile, to 1m2f in time.” Quotes from Alan Magee
