Next up under the microscope is a “dark horse” from Jessica Harrington's richly endowed stable. The trainer, who already has an enviable squad for the fillies' Classics, spoke with TDN's Tom Frary about another filly she is keen to see in action.
ONE VOICE (IRE), f, 3, Poet's Voice (GB)–Zaaqya (GB), by Nayef.
Carrying the colours of John Hennessy and owned in partnership by the trainer, One Voice became the third of three winners from as many runners for her dam, a winning half-sister to the GII Joe Hernandez S. runner-up Double Touch (GB) (Dutch Art {GB}). That came when breaking through over seven furlongs at Leopardstown in July, having finished runner-up on debut at the same track the previous month. The €55,000 Goffs Sportsman yearling was off the mark in style by three lengths when last seen and that margin could have been embellished had Shane Foley not eased down late. The runner-up Auxilia (Ire) (Free Eagle {Ire}) went on to win by five lengths next time and was a close third in the Listed Staffordstown Stud S., so the form is solid. “She's done very well and is not that far off my best ones,” Harrington revealed. “She didn't get to race after she won her maiden, as she had to have a little operation, but we've definitely got high hopes for her. She's a nice filly and she will stay a mile and a half in time.”
