THERE was a lot to like about the Windracer win in the opening maiden at the Curragh on Thursday evening.

Jessica Harrington’s filly was not well drawn in stall 15 of 15, but Shane Foley had her quickly tacking across onto the inside rail. The filly probably had to use up a little energy in order to minimise the disadvantage of her outside draw, but once into her racing rhythm, she travelled nicely in front.

She was challenged by Love from the two-furlong marker, but she got home by a neck from Aidan O’Brien’s filly, with the pair of them pulling nicely clear of their field.

This could prove to be a really good fillies’ maiden. Runner-up, Love, is a daughter of Galileo and a sister to Munster Oaks winner Flattering and to listed race winner Peach Tree.

The third filly, Innervisions, a promising debutante, is a daughter of Fiesolana by Dubawi.
