Misheer on target for Sunday's Moyglare Stakes at the Curragh Clive Brittain is bullish about the chances of Misheer in Sunday’s Group 1 Moyglare Stakes at The Curragh. The filly has already won 3 of her 4 starts including last time when she ran out an impressive winner of the Group 2 Cherry Hinton Stakes at Newmarket. “The plan is that we go for the Moyglare Stud Stakes with Misheer,” said Brittain. “She was impressive at Newmarket and I was very pleased with her that day. “I thought she had improved on her Ascot run and, looking at the distances by which she had beaten the other fillies that ran in the Queen Mary and then reopposed at Newmarket, I was probably right to think that.” “She is a good filly and is in very good form, so hopefully she stays that way for Sunday.” “I think once we get the Moyglare over with I would be looking at the Group 1 Cheveley Park Stakes at Newmarket (on October 2). I did win both races one year with Sayyedati, so that would be a possible route. Her options are open after that, so it would be up to the owner if he wants her to go to the Breeders’ Cup.” The veteran Newmarket handler became the first British trainer to win a Breeders’ Cup race when the great filly Pebbles won the 1985 Turf at Aqueduct and – 24 years on – he is not ruling out Misheer bidding to add to that tally. The seven-furlong Curragh contest is part of the Breeders’ Cup Challenge, an international series of 63 races whose winners earn qualifying positions into a corresponding race at the World Championships, following the payment of applicable entry fees on October 26. The Moyglare Stud Stakes is one of 11 Challenge races held in Europe this year and the winner of Sunday’s race is guaranteed a place in the $1 million Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf at Santa Anita on November 6.
