Ruler of the World’s La Petite Coco Back With A Bang In The Pretty Polly

[Wandering Eyes]

Pulling off a stellar training performance from Paddy Twomey, Team Valor's G2 Blandford S. winner La Petite Coco (Ire) (Ruler of the World {Ire}) led home My Astra (Ire) (Lope de Vega {Ire}) and stablemate Rosscarbery (Ger) (Sea the Stars {Ire}) on her seasonal debut in Sunday's G1 Alwasmiyah Pretty Polly S. at The Curragh. Let go at 9-1 with the punters' confidence shaky, the bay tracked the clear leading pair early with Billy Lee showing the same unerring timing he had in the Listed Dash here a day earlier. In front with 1 1/2 furlongs remaining, she pulled out extra to deny the William Haggas-trained 11-4 favourite My Astra by half a length, with the progressive G3 Munster Oaks winner Rosscarbery 1 1/4 lengths away in third to make it a day to remember for the Cashel-based Twomey.
