2nd-Curragh, €26,000, Cond, 6-8, 2yo, 5fT, 1:00.82, g/f.
DOM CARLOS (IRE) (c, 2, Gale Force Ten {GB}–Fancy Feathers {Ire}, by Redback {GB}), who was fifth in the decent six-furlong maiden won by Indigo Balance (Ire) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}) here May 27, put that experience to full use by bouncing out and taking initial control. Beginning to extend his slim advantage from the furlong pole, the 11-1 shot hit the line with four lengths to spare over Evasive Power (Elusive Quality). In doing so, he was becoming the first winner for the Irish National Stud’s G3 Jersey S.-winning first-season sire (by Oasis Dream {GB}). The dam, who also has a yearling colt by Zebedee (GB), is connected to the G3 Lancashire Oaks winner and MG1SP Ela Athena (GB) (Ezzoud {Ire}). Sales history: €34,000 Wlg ’16 GOFNOV; £45,000 Ylg ’17 GOUKPR. Lifetime Record: 3-1-0-0, $19,246. Video, sponsored by Fasig-Tipton.
O-Martin O’Sullivan & Annus Mirabilis Syndicate; B-Philip O’Dwyer & P. J. Walsh (IRE); T-Joseph O’Brien.
