Mm Sixsevei comes home well clear in Tipperary© Photo Healy Racing
Patrick Prendergast's Mm Sixsevei turned Tipperary's five-furlong maiden into a procession with a very taking victory.
The once-raced filly was making her seasonal reappearance and tracked front-running Early Call
Chris Hayes' mount took over in the final quarter of a mile and was ridden to go and win her race over a furlong out.
In the final furlong she drew further and further clear to post a whopping 14-length success.
She was well punted at the track at all prices from 5/1 to 5/2. Runner-up Early Call also had his supporters as he went off 6/4 favourite from 2/1.
Mm Sixsevei had come home fourth on debut at Navan in October when with Paul Deegan. On that occasion she was more than five lengths adrift of runner-up Hot Stone That form was emphatically overturned today as Hot Stone finished well behind in fourth. Pavlichenko raced alone on the far rail but didn't trouble the judge in coming home well adrift in last of the six runners.
Patrick Prendergast said: "She's been going very, very, well at home.
“I don't have her overly long. She was in Paul Deegan's and he sent her to me in good nick. He had a high opinion of her and told me what to do with her to be honest, so credit to him.
“Pat Khvedelidze, who rides her out every day, gets on very well with her and he told me she wouldn't be beaten.
“It's new owners in the yard, Mrs Martinelli, they have a stud down in Athy and she loves this filly.
“I wasn't expecting to win that far but being owner breeders I'd say they'd love to get black-type.
“Paul was delighted with her first run and he said she was a bit weak last year. He said she's got a lot stronger.
“I don't know what to make of that really. A lot of jockeys were coming in saying they didn't handle the ground but she did.”
