Champion Filly Tahiyra Bows Out
The Aga Khan's four-time Group 1 winner Tahiyra (Ire) (Siyouni {Fr}) has been retired following her third-placed finish in the Queen Elizabeth II S. at Ascot on Saturday.
Trained by Dermot Weld, she was unbeaten at two, jumping straight from her maiden success to victory in the Moyglare Stud S. This season, she was beaten half a length by Mawj (Ire) (Exceed And Excel {Aus}) in the 1,000 Guineas at Newmarket before gaining her own Classic win in the Irish 1,000 Guineas and adding the Coronation S. and Matron S. to her tally of top-level victories.
Tahiyra is the second Group 1 winner for the Cape Cross (Ire) mare Tarana (Ire), who is also the dam of Tarnawa (Ire) (Shamardal), the winner of nine of her 18 starts, including the Breeders' Cup Turf and Prix Vermeille.
“We have been absolutely delighted with her and we have spoken about what we would do since she ran on Saturday,” said Pat Downes, manager of the Aga Khan's Irish Studs.
“We just took a view that, unlike her sister Tarnawa, who didn't win her Group 1 until four, Tahiyra was obviously a champion two-year-old and a champion three-year-old and a very important filly for the future of the stud.
“We felt we had done enough with her and she will move on now to the next stage. She's been an absolute star and she ran her heart out on Saturday. We have been delighted with her and she has been a tremendous filly for us.”
