Minding’s Sister Off the Mark At Naas

On a day when Ballydoyle showed its strength, the regally-bred 3-year-old filly Empress Josephine (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) brought up a treble for the team at Naas in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Maiden over a mile. A full-sister to the high-class G1 1000 Guineas and G1 Epsom Oaks heroine Minding (Ire), the February-foaled bay was sent off the 3-1 joint-second favourite and raced behind the early leaders under cover. Needing racing room in the straight, she was out in good time to carry Seamie Heffernan to the front a furlong from the finish before asserting to beat fellow newcomer New York Angel (Ire) (Zoffany {Ire}) by 1 1/4 lengths, with the G3 Flame of Tara S. runner-up Ahandfulofsummers (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) a further half-length back in third.
