The Joseph O’Brien trained Amenette caused a 12/1 upset in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Median Auction Maiden at Limerick today, winning ta the fourth attempt, under jockey Bill Lee.
The daughter of Power today swept to the front with a furlong to race and in the end held on to beat Navajo Dreamer by three parts of a length.
Afterwards jockey Lee stated “she hadn’t bad form coming into it, if you took out her last run and Joseph (O’Brien) was happy enough coming in. He said she’d love the ground and that’s the main factor for her disappointing run the last day.
“I got a lovely position, she travelled well and quickened up well and kept going well to the line. Hopefully there’s more to come from her when she steps into handicap company and maybe a get a black-type, who knows.”
