The John Oxx trained Pour Deux made all for an impressive win in the Irish Stallion Farms European Breeders Fund Fillies Maiden at Naas today, staying on strongly in the closing stages for a five lengths win, under Declan McDonogh.
McDonogh looked comfortable on the daughter of Dansili throughout and the pair comfortably held Georgie On My Mind.
Afterwards Oxx stated "she had good form last year with three good runs. She is bred to stay a bit and we were hoping to stretch her out the last day but she was just too keen.
"She is nicely bred and a nice looker. She's owned by two breeders (Lady O'Reilly and Mrs Clodagh McStay), and will have to have a go in a Listed race. It's proper fast ground and I'm not sure any horse really wants it that quick but she handled it well."
