Moody proves too good in the Meadow Court The Paddy Twomey-trained Moody (15/2) was an extremely impressive winner of the Group 3 Fillies' and Mares' Meadow Court Stakes. On the front end throughout, she was not for stopping when Billy Lee sent her for home and 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 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 (Vintage Tipple Stakes at Gowran) 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 because I kind of felt if I waited for the Give Thanks (at Cork in August), I'd be too close to all those races." Quotes from John O'Riordan
