Competitive Tramore Fare Nobody doubts the competitiveness of Irish racing, a reflection of this coming in the three-year-old maiden at Tramore. As a daughter of Sadler´s Wells and the top-class triple Oaks heroine and St Leger runner-up, Ramruma, Fine Design with a second placing at Wexford to her name, was expected to oblige at odds of 8/13. However David Wachman´s filly couldn´t shake off Sufad in the Hamdan Al Maktoum colours with Declan McDonogh up, that 6/4 chance showing better reserves of stamina to prevail by half a length. This fellow himself is a son of Alshakr, a high-class miler (a Falmouth Stakes victor). That makes him a grandson of another Irish Oaks winner, Give Thanks. Both Sufad and the first winner, Maal, were bred by the Shadwell Estate.
