Radio Gaga aiming for recovery in the Weatherbys Bloodstock Insurance Eternal Stakes
Trainer, Ed McMahon, is slightly concerned about the wide draw that has been allotted to his charge, Radio Gaga, in the Weatherbys Bloodstock Insurance Eternal Stakes at Warwick (Listed Race) on 28th June, 2012.
The Multiplex Racing owned runner will be entering the seven furlong and 26 yards race from post number 13, under rider, Richard Mullen.
The daughter of Multiplex failed to deliver in the Qipco 1,000 Guineas Stakes at Newmarket, where she finished in fourteenth place.
It was later discovered that the runner could not perform well, because she faced a minor setback which the trainer explained in these words:
"There aren't that many opportunities for her as I didn't want to put her in a handicap. The ground will suit us, but the downside is obviously the draw (stall 13). We found our filly had a bit of a virus coming out of Newmarket and she ran as flat
as a pancake.”
With the exception of her last race, the three-year-old performed well, and showed a better run than the previous one.
She started her season with a solid finish as a runner-up in the Group 3 Dubai Duty Free Stakes (Registered As The Fred Darling Stakes) at Newbury in April, 2012, over a distance of seven furlongs.
The filly looked in contention for most part of the race, but lost to the Ralph Beckett trained winner, Moonstone Magic, by a margin of 3 ¾ lengths.
Currently, the young runner seems to be in good form, and this was confirmed by McMahon, who said:
"She's fit and well and hopefully she'll do herself some justice. She's back to herself again now and I'm hopeful of a good run."
The Mickley Stud bred filly has a victory to her name, which she claimed in her maiden at Haydock last September.
With jockey Graham Gibbons on her back, she dominated the six furlong track in the Betfred E B F "Beat All" Precision Legal Services Group Maiden Stakes, and defeated the Clive Cox trained, Accession, by 1 ¼ lengths.
Foaled by mare Gagajulu, this filly has a chance to redeem herself in this event, since the performance at in the Qipco 1,000 Guineas Stakes at Newmarket raised a number of questions about her form.
