Freshman Sire River Boyne Off The Mark At Brighton

River Boyne | Tara Stud

By

Tara Stud resident River Boyne (Ire) (Dandy Man {Ire} became Europe's latest first-crop sire to get off the mark when his Amy Murphy-trained daughter Tequila Rose (Ire) justified odds-on favouritism in Tuesday's Get Raceday Ready Restricted Maiden Fillies' S. at Brighton.

3rd-Brighton, £6,800, Mdn, 5-28, 2yo, f, 5f 215yT, 1:12.76, gd.
TEQUILA ROSE (IRE) (f, 2, River Boyne {Ire}–Himiko {Ire}, by Aussie Rules), an Apr. 30 debut runner-up going five furlongs at Catterick in her only prior outing, broke sharply from the outside stall and asserted for an early lead in this second start. Holding a slender advantage throughout, the 8-11 favourite came under pressure when threatened on both sides at the quarter-mile marker and kept on in resolute fashion to deny the persistent challenge of Could She Be Magic (GB) (Time Test {GB}) by a neck, becoming the first winner for her freshman sire (by Dandy Man {Ire}). Tequila Rose is the seventh foal and scorer out of an unraced half-sister to Multiple Group 3-placed Listed Silver S. and Listed Ruby S. victrix Deauville Vision (Ire) (Danehill Dancer {Ire}). The March-foaled bay is a half-sister to the dual Group 3-placed Listed Prix Lord Seymour victor Virtual Rock (Ire) (Fascinating Rock {Ire}) and a yearling colt by Invincible Army (Ire). Sales history: €18,000 Ylg '23 GOFOR2. Lifetime Record: 2-1-1-0, $7,077.
