Weld filly to bypass Newmarket

Follow on Discover

Published at

Dress To Thrill will bypass the Sagitta 1000 Guineas and instead run in either the French or Irish equivalents, her trainer Dermot Weld said today.

The daughter of Danehill finished a good second to Quarter Moon, Aidan O`Brien`s leading hope for the Newmarket Classic, in the Moyglare Stud Stakes at the Curragh last season and was a best-priced 25-1 for Sunday`s race.

After the filly had worked this morning, Weld said: 'We were very pleased with her.

'She`s unlikely to run at Newmarket. She`ll wait for either the French or Irish 1000 Guineas.'
