Sharpened by her return third on desperate ground in the Listed Alleged S. over 10 furlongs at The Curragh Apr. 3, last year's GI Breeders' Cup Turf heroine Found made light work of this next staging post on what could be a highly profitable journey this season. Settled in last early by Ryan Moore, the bay cruised up behind her G1 Champion S. conqueror Fascinating Rock and Success Days approaching the final furlong before slicing between them to take over with 100 yards remaining. Aidan O'Brien was keen to stress that the revelation of 2015 has more improvement in her. “I didn't think she had come forward [from her first run] as much, but she obviously did,” he said. “She's still not there and hopefully she's something to look forward to. Ryan was going to relax her today, as she was a little bit keen the last day. The [G1] Tattersalls Gold Cup [back at The Curragh May 22] remains the plan. Then we might look at the [G1] Coronation Cup [at Epsom June 4], but that's not definite. She'd get a break and then have one or two runs before the Arc.” Fascinating Rock's trainer Dermot Weld was pleased with the 5-year-old's comeback effort and is looking to a rematch with the winner in 20 days' time. “I was very pleased with him. He's a big horse and looked marvellous. Perhaps he looked too well,” he commented. “As we saw at the beginning of his last campaign and at Windsor, he needs a run. Please god he'll be back here in threeweeks' time and will strip a fitter horse.” Found's dam Red Evie needs no introduction and the G1 Matron S. and G1 Lockinge S. is excelling in her second career also. Her second foal was the G3 CL Weld Park S. winner Magical Dream (Ire) and her latest daughter to race is the smart Best In the World (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}), who won last year's Listed Silken Glider S. Unsurprisingly, Red Evie has been covered again by Galileo and has a yearling colt as a result. Click for the Racing Post result or the free Equineline.com catalogue-style pedigree.
