CONGRATULATIONS to the Irish trio of Brendan and Olive Gallagher and Michael Hernon, breeders of the champion US three-year-old filly in 2018, Monomoy Girl.

That daughter of Tapizar (Tapit) went from being a $100,000 yearling at Keeneland to winning just shy of $3 million in a stellar racing career that saw her triumph on nine of her 11 starts, five times at Grade 1 level. These included the Breeders’ Cup Distaff and the Kentucky Oaks.
