There was a buzz surrounding the debut of City Of Memphis on Tuesday evening at Cork and the filly who topped last year's Tattersalls Ireland Breeze Up did not disappoint. Introduced by Paddy Twomey in the six-furlong maiden, the 8-13 favourite travelled easily under Billy Lee throughout before asserting her superiority in the final furlong. At the line, the Zinlo Syndicate's daughter of Sioux Nation who cost €370,000 had 2 3/4 lengths to spare over Too Darn Hot's fellow newcomer Bonus Time.

A filly with a BIG future 💫

City Of Memphis, a 370,000 euros daughter of Sioux Nation, powers clear to make a winning debut in the style of a filly that is surely destined for Pattern races. @ptwomeyracing | @wjlee24786 pic.twitter.com/zFP4TdSJCi

“We bought her off Katie Walsh at the breeze-ups last year and just waited with her. We haven't looked much, but she has plenty of ability and, everything she does, she does with ease,” trainer Paddy Twomey said. “When you go to the breeze-up sale, you pay your money and take your chance. [Owner] Alan [O'Flynn] asked me to buy him fillies in the past few years and we got Purple Lily the first year and now this one, so he has two nice fillies.”

The dam, who died last year and whose final foal is a 2-year-old colt by the established National Hunt sire Walk In The Park, hails from the excellent Wildenstein family of Arcangues whose numerous top-class performers include Luxembourg.
