Sweet Mystery and Soohaad to threaten the line-up of the Irish Stallion Farms European Breeders Fund Maiden at Gowran Park
The Irish Stallion Farms European Breeders Fund Maiden will be held at Gowran Park over seven furlongs on Thursday, 12th April. Taking up the €9,315 challenge is a line-up of fourteen three-year-old thoroughbreds.
Four of the entries on the line-up are racing their seasonal debut while the rest are very lightly raced with the majority having raced just once. Among those who have raced, Sweet Mystery, Dark Angel’s three-year-old bay gelding out of mare, Hartstown House, is an interesting entry after performing decently in the seasonal debut.
He finished seventh on the line-up of thirty in the Elusive Pimpernel Maiden on 25th March at Curragh over six furlongs. The race was won by Redoutable who was paired up with D. Hayes and the two led the runner up of the race, Rigoletta, by 4 ¾ lengths.
Coming at terms with the third position was Royal Visit. Atacx, the 7/2 favourite of the race, stationed fourth behind the winner. Sweet Mystery caught onto the seventh position with M. Gorey onboard.
The trainer, K. Weld is inquisitive and hopeful about the second start of the season for his three-year-old.
A potentially threatening entry for Sweet Mystery is Soohaad, Hard Spun’s three-year-old bay filly out of mare, Sayedat Alhadh. She broke into the racing career on 30th October in the Irish Stallion Farms European Breeders Fund 2YO Fillies Maiden at Leopardstown over seven furlongs.
She ended sixth on the line-up of seventeen while riding with P. McDonogh. The race was won by Eternal Bounty who had half a length’s margin from the 2/1 joint favourite of the runner up of the race, Wonderful.
The other joint favourite, Princess Highway, came eighth.
Settling third behind the winner was Twirl.
Soohaad is well practiced over the seven furlongs’ distance and can get the race going for herself by putting in some extra effort.
Sweet Mystery and Soohaad both have exploding chances of bagging the race, for Sweet Mystery it will be the second career outing while for Soohaad the race will mark as the seasonal debut.
Taking their chances with the career debut are Cape Of Approval, Chois The Idea, Enter The Red and Machine Gun Monkey.
