Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted April 6, 2019 Journalists Share Posted April 6, 2019 Runner-up at the highest level during last term’s juvenile campaign, Joanne Lavery’s Lady Kaya (Ire) (Dandy Man {Ire}) turned Saturday’s G3 Ballylinch Stud ‘Priory Belle’ 1000 Guineas Trial S. at Leopardstown into a procession and stamped herself a leading contender for the upcoming Classic window. The bay posted a June 9 debut third at The Curragh before stunning onlookers with a 10-length tally back there Aug. 12. Stepped up to stakes company thereafter, she ran fourth behind Skitter Scatter (Scat Daddy) in the Aug. 26 G2 Debutante S. and second behind the same rival in the Sept. 16 G1 Moyglare Stud S., and entered winter quarters following a sixth to Fairyland (Ire) (Kodiac {GB}) in the Sept. 29 G1 Cheveley Park S. at Newmarket. Lady Kaya bullied her way to the front after the initial strides and set the tone thereafter. On the bridle halfway up the straight and with all rivals toiling, she kept on powerfully once stoked up with 150 yards remaining to easily register a career high by 2 1/4 lengths from the running on Happen (War Front). LADY KAYA (IRE), f, 3, Dandy Man (Ire)–Kayak (GB)–Singspiel (Ire). (€15,000 Wlg ’16 GOFNOV; €12,000 RNA Ylg ’17 TIRSEP).
