Frankel’s Homeless Songs Bursts Into The Guineas Picture

[Wandering Eyes]

Another Classic trial, another TDN Rising Star in the headlines as Moyglare's Homeless Songs (Ire) (Frankel {GB}) surged to an impressive success in Saturday's G3 Ballylinch Stud “Priory Belle” 1,000 Guineas Trial S. at Leopardstown. Things had gone awry since her debut defeat of Agartha (Ire) (Caravaggio) over this seven-furlong trip and course in July, but Dermot Weld had the homebred fine-tuned for this competitive affair and the manner of her sustained effort down the outer to swamp her old rival inside the final furlong suggests she will be a leading player in the May 1 G1 1000 Guineas at Newmarket. At the line, the 6-1 shot had a length to spare over the penalised Agartha, with Villanova Queen (Ire) (Mastercraftsman {Ire}) 3/4 of a length away in third ahead of the 5-4 favourite Sacred Bridge (GB) (Bated Breath {GB}). “She'd been working extremely well and is a quality filly with a lot of pace,” Weld said. “That was a very good performance from her–things didn't go her way last year, but I was confident she would come back this year and show what she was capable of. We'll see how she comes out of this and I'll speak with Eva-Marie, but I would say Newmarket is a strong possibility. She may well get 10 furlongs in time.”
