Moyglare Floated As An Option For Porta Fortuna

[Wandering Eyes]

Multiple group winner Porta Fortuna (Ire) (Caravaggio), who ran second in the G1 Phoenix S. to Bucanero Fuerte (GB) (Wootton Bassette {GB}), is under consideration for the G1 Moyglare Stud S. on Sept. 10, trainer Joseph O'Brien revealed on Wednesday.

The daughter of four-time winner Too Precious (Ire) (Holy Roman Emperor {Ire}) won a maiden race at the Curragh in April, and followed up with Group 3 victories in the Fillies Sprint S. and Albany S. at Naas and Royal Ascot, respectively, in May and June. The Phoenix was her first loss. Connections are also discussing the Sept. 30 G1 Cheveley Park S. as an option.

“She ran really well and we were delighted with her,” said O'Brien. “We're still not 100% sure, but there's a good chance we will take a look at the Moyglare and we will train her towards that and see. She will have the option of the Cheveley Park after that also.

“I think she has plenty of speed, so I think six or seven furlongs won't be a problem either way and she's open to either. The winner looked a good horse and to go against the colts isn't easy but she ran really well.”
