Weld/Smullen win opener The Dermot Weld trained Emulous made a winning debut when she landed the opening race, the TRM Fillies Maiden, at the Curragh this afternoon. Pat Smullen sent the daughter of Dansili to the front a furlong and a half from home and kept on well to hold off the late challenge of Dance Hall Girl by one length. Winning trainer Weld said afterwards: “She will probably run again this year in the Eyrefield Stakes at Leopardstown.” “I think she will make a lovely stakes filly for next year.”
