O'Brien and Moore land Naas treble with Drop Dead Gorgeous Aidan O'Brien and Ryan Moore made it three from three on the afternoon as Drop Dead Gorgeous lived up to star billing when making a winning debut in the Aesop's Fables At Compas Stallions Irish EBF Fillies Maiden at Naas. An impeccably bred daughter of Dubawi, the evens favourite made the perfect start to her racing career when scoring for owners Michael Tabor, Derrick Smith and Mrs John Magnier. Tracking stablemate White Sand Beach from the off, Ryan Moore led over a furlong out on Drop Dead Gorgeous. Keeping on well inside the final furlong, the filly beat Fleur De Provence by one-and-a-quarter lengths. “We’re delighted with her, she’s a lovely big filly. She’s still a baby, learned plenty today. She was very green when she got there but we’re very happy,” said O’Brien. “She’ll stay further.” When asked if she could step into an Oaks trial he added: “She probably will, something like that I’d imagine. She’s a quality big mare. “We’ll see what comes up for her and how she comes out of it. It was just nice to get her started.” Paddy Power went 25/ (from 50/1) Drop Dead Gorgeous for the Oaks.
