Observations: Daughter of Massarra Debuts at The Curragh

Massarra, dam of The Curragh's first-time starter Friendly | Racing Post

4.15 Curragh, Mdn, €16,500, 2yo, f, 6fT
FRIENDLY (IRE) (Galileo {Ire}) was not foaled until May 15th, so improvement can be expected in due time but it is interesting that Aidan O'Brien has opted to go so soon with the 12th progeny out of the speedy Massarra (GB) (Danehill). All of her full-siblings Mars (Ire), Gustav Klimt (Ire), Wonderfully (Ire), Cuff (Ire) and Blissful (Ire) and her half-sister Nayarra (Ire) (Cape Cross {Ire}) were able to make their mark in black-type company at different levels and this chestnut relative of Invincible Spirit (Ire) needs close watching as she debuts against Moyglare Stud's A Ma Chere (Ire) (Kodiac {GB}), a Dermot Weld-trained daughter of the G1 Irish 1000 Guineas runner-up Mad About You (Ire) (Indian Ridge {Ire}).
