Champion trainer Aidan O'Brien followed up a brilliant weekend with a Killarney winner today as his Galileo-sired Get (9/2) gained a first success, under Wayne Lordan, in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF (Fillies) Maiden.
A sister to Irish racing's longest-distance (33 lengths) Flat winner Allegio, Get raced prominently and while 5/6 favourite Radar Ahead challenged in the home straight, Get finished well to comfortably hold Elana Osario by two-and-a-quarter lengths, with Radar Ahead in third.
Lordan reported: "In fairness to her, she is very straightforward and we're not tied down to any trip with her. She has run well over 1m2f and recently, when there wasn't a suitable race for her, we ran her over 1m6f and she still ran a cracker.
“Here was a nice opportunity, she handles the ground and got the 1m3f very well. She is a big rangyy filly and, with time, is strengthening away. She is getting it together and you'd have to like her as she is genuine.”
Trainer O'Brien had registered a six-timer on Saturday, highlighted by a Longchamp four-timer and while Los Angeles filled third-place in Sunday's Prix de l'Arc, juvenile Camille Pissarro had earlier bagged a top-level success in the Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere.
