Black Caviar Gold quickened up smartly to claim the Weld Park Stakes and mark herself out as an exciting prospect in the process at the Curragh.<\/p>\n
A stylish winner of a Cork maiden last time out, the Paddy Twomey-trained youngster took the step into Group Three company in her stride and always looked to be going well under Billy Lee, who was in no rush aboard the 4-1 chance.<\/p>\n
However, it was when asked to up the ante that the daughter of Havana Grey advertised her star quality, showing a deadly turn of foot to creep into contention then surge two and three-quarter lengths clear of the runner-up Pivotal Attack – reversing the form of her Galway debut in late July.<\/p>\n
Twomey said: “She’s a nice filly and we’ve taken our time with her and let her come to us. She won impressively on rain-softened ground the last day and I thought she was ready for a step into this company.<\/p>\n
“The plan had been to be a bit handier, but she just missed the kick. Billy said she went through the race lovely and ideally he could have done with a lead for a bit longer, but he thinks she is a classy filly.<\/p>\n
“She’s learning about racing as she goes. She had sore shins in the spring and that’s why I was looking for softer ground this year. I think as she gets older and gets stronger it (the ground) will make no difference.<\/p>\n
“She’s had four runs, and I’d say that will be it for this year.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Black Caviar Gold quickened up smartly to claim the Weld Park Stakes and mark herself out as an…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":166154,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[40],"tags":[3004,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-166153","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-racing","tag-racing","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/166153","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=166153"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/166153\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/166154"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=166153"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=166153"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=166153"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
