Moody Proves Too Good in the Meadow Court Stakes The Paddy Twomey-trained Moody (15/2) was an extremely impressive winner of the Group 3 Fillies' and Mares' Meadow Court Stakes. Always on the front end throughout, she was not for stopping when Billy Lee sent her for home, and she ran out an impressive three-and-a-half-length winner, with the William Haggas-trained Rhapsody back in second. Speaking after the race, trainer Paddy Twomey said: "She's a nice filly. She's won her Listed race, her Listed race with a penalty and, a Group 3 now. She's versatile. With Mr. Fabre she'd ran at nine-furlongs twice. She's just tough and, I'd say she's good too. "I liked the look of her form and, we buy a lot of those fillies at that level. We can't afford maybe the better ones. Some of them win and, some of them don't. "I'd say she's just got ability. That's a good trip for her. She's not short of speed. When she won at a-mile-and-a-half in Cork the way she quickened, I knew a-mile-and-two wasn't a problem. The other race just came up at a time in her training (1m6f) when I thought it might suit to run her. We did that but I doubt we'll be going back to 1m6f. "She's in the Jean Romanet, she's in the Yorkshire Oaks, she's in the Vermeille. She's in everything. I ran her today; I kind of felt if I waited for the Give Thanks, I'd be too close to all those races." (Quotes from John O'Riordan)
