Race Info

1st - £212,662.00 2nd - £80,625.00 3rd - £40,350.00 4th - £20,100.00 5th - £10,088.00 6th - £5,062.00

Formscan - Just seven go to post for the feature but, in truth, this is likely to revolve around one horse and the Andrew Balding-trained BLUE BOLT is the star of the show. Second in the race last season, she has really taken her form to a new level this term and followed up a Duke Of Cambridge Stakes win with a trio of Group 1 successes - the most recent of those coming in the Matron Stakes at Leopardstown where City Of Memphis had no answers. The battle for third is an intriguing one and Evolutionist might be best placed to take the bronze medal.

Trainer Quotes

Quotes on City Of Memphis (IRE)

I like this race as it is a suitable one for the type of filly we train. This filly came from Katie Walsh as a breezer and, to be fair, the breeze-ups have been very good to us and I came from that sphere myself. Alan (O’Flynn, member of the family syndicate) said to target the breeze-ups from the get-go and he has been very lucky and is getting his reward. I actually had her in the Guineas in the winter (of 2024-25), took her out in April and then put her back in at the cost of €50,000, to get €15,000 for finishing fifth but thankfully he forgave me! She is a classy filly and it worked out today. After her Guineas run, I said that we’d leave her alone until her four-year-old year and I’d say she is now a Group One filly. She won’t go to Ascot but I’ll be looking at races like the Prix Maurice De Gheest, Prix Rothschild, the Matron, as well as the Breeders’ Cup Mile, those kind of races.
