Right Up My Street wins first time out for Pat Flynn

01 Jun 2013

 

After Kane’s Pass won recently, Willie McCreery said “she’s by a very nice sire in Clodovil,” and Right Up My Street is another decent filly who made a winning debut when landing the fillies Maiden at Tramore. Pat Flynn made no secret that he liked the three year old well in advance of her career start. She took control of the race entering the straight. In the aftermath Flynn commented “That’s great now. She’s a very nice filly and should be listed class. She’s very closely related to French Ballerina (Flynn’s brilliant mare of the past). She’ll go for a winners of one now and hopefully it’ll be onwards and upwards from there.” The Racing Post wrote “The filly’s performance suggested she might be capable of carrying the weight of family expectation. It’s onwards and upwards from here.”

 

Right Up My Street is bred by the Morrin’s Pier House Stud. She is the fourth foal and second winner out of Farewell To Love (Darshaan), a daughter of unraced Makarova (Sadler’s Well), a full sister to high class French Ballerina. The latter won two runnings of the Listed Garnet Stakes and notched up a total of four Listed wins on the flat. The third dam is high class Filia Ardross (Ardross), who was crowned Champion Three Year Old Filly in Germany in 1989 when she won the Gr.2 Hansa-Preis, the Gr.2 Preis der Diana and Gr.2 Schwarzgold Rennen. At stud, she is the dam of six winners, headed by the Gr.1 Fillies Mile winner and Gr.1 Irish Oaks runner-up Sunspangled (Caerleon).
