01 Jul 2021 09:57


 

Coolmore Australia shuttler (Churchill) recorded his sixth first crop winner on Wednesday when Ladies Church (2 f ex Rioticism by Rio De La Plata) broke her maiden at Tipperary, coming less than 24 hours after well-bred colt Upon A River (2 c ex Cassandra Go by Indian Ridge) broke his maiden at Roscommon on Tuesday evening.  

Trained by Johnny Murtagh, Ladies Church finished fourth on debut at Cork on June 9 and on Wednesday she responded well when asked by Ben Coen in the final 200 metres to hold off favourite Orinoco River (War Front) and score by three quarters of a length. Pearl Palinka (No Nay Never) was another two and a quarter lengths back in third. 

Bred by Dukes Stud and Overbury Stallions, Ladies Church is the first foal out of Listed winning mare Rioticism (Rio De La Plata).
