ISOLE MALDIVE (IRE) (f, 2, War Command–Hairicin {Ire}, by Hurricane Run {Ire}) broke a step slow in this debut but found extra when asked to charge on the outside and score comfortably over Bridge Shanasand (Ire) (Footstepsinthesand {GB}). She is the first winner from an initial crop of 112 foals by War Command (War Front), the first 2-year-old to complete the G2 Coventry S./G1 Dewhurst S. double since Mill Reef (Never Bend) in 1970. The filly’s half-sister Isole Canarie (Ire) (Rip Van Winkle {Ire}) had won the Listed Premio Repubbliche Marinare just four days before for the same connections. Owner Sebastiano Guerrieri, who trains with his wife Melania Cascione, also owned a third winner out of Hairicin (Ire) (Hurricane Run {Ire}), the five-time scorer Isole Eolie (Ire) (Intense Focus). Hairicin failed to reach a racecourse but is a half-sister to the Irish Group 3 scorer Puncher Clynch (Ire) (Azamour {Ire}). Sales history: €16,000 yrl ’17 TATIRE. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0 €5,525.
