O'Brien & Sheridan double up in Gowran feature Gowran Park’s feature race was the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Handicap over just short of a mile and Sindria (16s into 12/1 before the off) fairly bolted up to lead home a one-two for Joseph O'Brien and complete doubles for himself and rider Joey Sheridan. Sheridan’s mount came from mid-division and swept down the outside to head Greydreambeliever at the furlong pole, before scooting clear to beat that stablemate by four and a-quarter lengths. Owned by the Sights On Gold Three Partnership, the 82-rated winner was making her seasonal debut here and having her third start for O’Brien. She was bought for 65,000 guineas last summer after winning a Leopardstown maiden for Dermot Weld. “She relaxed well, she had been a bit of a hard puller,” said winning trainer Joseph O’Brien, successful earlier with the Sheridan-ridden Sinmara. “She got a nice ride from Joey and she finished off the race well. You’d hope that she’s a filly that could potentially make it into black type races. “We’ll see what the handicapper does, but that might be where she’s heading now.
