Coming off an authoritative Cork maiden success, Bond Thoroughbred's Black Caviar Gold (Havana Grey) carried that momentum into Sunday's G3 Weld Park Stakes at The Curragh. Sent off the 4-1 joint-second favourite for the seven-furlong feature for two-year-old fillies, the Paddy Twomey-trained grey arrived under Billy Lee to overpower her peers a furlong from home and register a 2 3/4-length success from Pivotal Attack (Pinatubo).
“I loved the way she put the race to bed well at Cork the last day and had come forward,” Twomey said. “She was very smooth through the race today and looks like she's learned how to race.”
Seven-lengths third behind Pivotal Attack and Amelia Earhart (Camelot) on debut at Galway in July, Black Caviar Gold was the same margin behind the subsequent Moyglare heroine Precise when fourth at Cork the following month before soft ground saw her grow a leg at Cork. “She's an exciting filly going forward,” he added. “I'd imagine we'll wait now until next year–she looks like she'll stay a mile, the way she went through the line there and the Guineas is a logical plan. We can dream a bit through the winter.”
