Toogoodtobetrue earns first victory for O'Brien

Toogoodtobetrue continued a fine weekend for Aidan O'Brien when getting off the mark at the second attempt in the Sycamore Lodge Equine Hospital European Breeders Fund Maiden at the Curragh.

A close second on her debut at Naas earlier this month, the Oasis Dream filly confirmed that promise and did it well considering she had to race widest of the main protagonists through the early stages as Gussy Goose took the field along.

The latter stuck to her guns well, but Joseph O'Brien was always going to win when edging to the front a furlong and a half out.
Tommy Stack's Gussy Goose kept her honest but was readily held by three-parts of a length by the 1-2 favourite.

O'Brien said: "You'd have to be delighted with that. She came forward lovely from her first run.

"Joseph was very happy with her and he thinks she is a very nice filly.

"She will love stepping up to seven furlongs and she could be one for the Debutante or the Moyglare."

Brendan Duke enjoyed a welcome winner and a change of luck as Intenser (14-1) got on top close home in the Irish Champions Weekend 13th & 14th September Nursery Handicap.

The Jackie Bolger-owned gelding deserves plenty of credit after racing towards the middle of the track, finishing off his race well to take the spoils by half a length from Sauanna Belle, who looked a little unfortunate in not getting the clearest of runs.

Duke said: "They've been running great, but I've had 11 seconds. I signed up for a course on internet about how to survive in the wilderness!

"I'm delighted he's won. It's made a big difference gelding him. He just got there and the handicapper probably did a good job rating them.

"Hopefully we'll find another day somewhere and we've been thinking about the nursery in Galway for a long time with him."
