Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted May 3, 2018 Journalists Share Posted May 3, 2018 MAE NEVER NO (IRE) (f, 2, No Nay Never–Sweet Shirley Mae, by Broken Vow) became the first winner for her freshman sire (by Scat Daddy), outfinishing her more fancied stable companion Abyssinian (Cairo Prince) to graduate by a half-length at first asking Thursday at Belmont Park. Quickly away, the cold-on-the-board 17-2 chance was straightened out by Gary Stevens after drifting in a bit a stride or two out of the stalls, then settled in third as Abyssinian appeared to be coasting on an easy lead. The chalk drifted a bit wide into the stretch and Mae Never No began to cut into the advantage, grabbed the front-runner at the sixteenth pole and inched clear. Mae Never No’s sire raced for this breeder in partnership with Coolmore and annexed his career debut at Keeneland before adding the G2 Norfolk S. at Royal Ascot and the G1 Darley Prix Morny a few months later. Sparingly campaigned at three, No Nay Never won the GIII Woodford S. in between runner-up efforts in the GII Swale S. and in the GI Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0. O/B-Ice Wine Stable (Ire); T-Wesley Ward. View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
