McLoughlin's Duckadilly set for the sales ring Duckadilly, winner of her first two races and runner-up in a Listed race at Killarney in August, is heading to the sales according to her trainer Danny McLoughlin. The Churchill four-year-old, bought by her trainer as an unraced two-year-old for 12,000 Euro, was unplaced in the Garnet Stakes at Naas on Sunday. “She came out of the race well and she’s going to the breeding sale," said McLoughlin of his 98-rated performer. “Down at the start she was sweating up under the belly, which is very unlike her. Her coat was gone, a lot of the fillies' coats were gone in the race. “I thought I was reading too much into it but this time last year, even at home when she hadn’t run, she just went off on me and some fillies are like that. “I know what she is and I probably wouldn’t have run her only that she was in the sale. “That was her for the year last week (after Tipperary, fourth in the Concorde Stakes) but the fact that she was in the sale just pushed me to run her and take a chance because she bounced out of her race brilliantly and was good and fresh in the field. “Looking back, it’s easy to say I shouldn’t have run her but sometimes that’s what we have to do.” Additional reporting by Gary Carson
