Ballydoyle's Bounty (Ire) (No Nay Never–Rosdhu Queen {Ire}, by Invincible Spirit {Ire}) had little to beat in the six-furlong maiden at Naas on Sunday and made no mistake to open his account in style. Runner-up on debut in a Curragh maiden last month, the son of the 2012 G1 Cheveley Park Stakes heroine was contained on the front end throughout the early stages by Wayne Lordan and went through the race untroubled en route to a bloodless 4 1/2-length success from Iceford (Ire) (Beckford {GB}) as the 2-9 favourite. The dam was a 2.1million gns purchase at the 2013 Tattersalls December Sale.
“He finds that pace easy, so he's going to be a quick horse. He's showing that at the moment,” jockey Wayne Lordan said. “He handles that ground fine and he feels like he'll handle quick ground as well.” The dam, who captured the 2012 G1 Cheveley Park Stakes and G2 Lowther Stakes, was a 2.1million gns purchase at the 2013 Tattersalls December Sale. A daughter of the G3 Prix d'Aumale winner Green Minstrel (Fr) (Green Tune) related to the Brazilian group 1 winner Olympic Kremlin (Brz) (Agnes Gold {Jpn}), her yearling filly is by St Mark's Basilica (Fr). She was bred to Justify this year.
