New winner for Space Blues

Come On Eibhlin wins cosily on her second start at Windsor

Having made her debut in hot water in the G2 Queen Mary Stakes at Royal Ascot, Come On Eibhlin ran out a cosy winner of the six-furlong fillies’ novice at Windsor on just her second start on Monday, 21 July.

Beaten just four and a half lengths at Ascot, Come On Eibhlin put that experience to good use when making all the running under Jim Crowley, winning a shade easier than the winning margin of a head suggested, having shown greenness inside the final furlong.

Bred by David Mooney, the Dylan Cunha-trained filly is out of winning Teofilo mare Absolutely Right, who herself is out of a half-sister to G3 winner Rabah.

Space Blues himself was a multiple G1-winning sprinter/miler, with victories in the Breeders’ Cup Mile, Prix de la Forêt and Prix Maurice de Gheest. He has a number of exciting horses to look forward to in his first crop, including Group performer Power Blue, and Do Or Do Not, who finished a brilliant second in both the G2 Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot and the G2 July Stakes at Newmarket.
