JOAN OF ARC (IRE) (Galileo {Ire}) is one of the standout characters on The Curragh's 2021 turf season opener, being Ballydoyle's full-sister to the Classic-winning Gleneagles (Ire) and Marvellous (Ire) and Group 1 winner Happily (Ire). An entry in the G1 1000 Guineas, the February-foaled bay missed out on a debut win by a nose at Dundalk in November and has an experience edge on a pair of Dermot Weld-trained Moyglare Stud homebreds including Emilie Gray (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}), the first foal out of the dual Group 3-winning Carla Bianca (Ire) (Dansili {GB}).
