Too Familiar a very exciting 2yo prospect for Clodovil

23 Apr 2017

Too Familiar (Clodovil ex Amazon Beauty), was anchored in mid-division early and her progress was checked by a wall of rivals as the action heated up. Finding a seam to gain the advantage inside the last 100 yards, the 25,000EUR yearling asserted to score by a half a length. “She’s been showing a little bit at home and Johnny [Murtagh}’s got a few nice ones this year,” winning jockey Niall McCullagh said. “She was locked up for a while and was a little raw when I let her go, but she’s nice.” Murtagh added, “I’ve always liked her and she showed a lot of pace. She has been working very well at home. There is a fillies’ race in Naas for her now. The syndicate are still dreaming of Royal Ascot, so you never know.” Out of the Wildenstein’s Gr.3 Prix de Seine-et-Oise third Amazing Beauty, the winner already looks the best of her progeny before the yearling filly by Dream Ahead enters the fray. The dam’s half sister Asti was runner up in the Gr.1 Prix Saint Alary and Gr.3 Prix Vanteaux before becoming a stakes winner in the States and placing in graded-stakes company. The third dam is Gr.3 Prix de Sandringham scorer Action Francaise, whose progeny include Gr.3 Prix des Reservoirs winner Article Rare and who was also a runner up in the Saint Alary. Congratulations to Johnny Murtagh, breeder Michael Morrissey and owners Fitzwilliam Racing. Lots more to come from this exciting filly!
