Hodd’s Girl claimed her second win in 3 runs since joining the yard when winning the View Restaurant At Dundalk Stadium Handicap under Adam Caffrey last Friday at Dundalk.
The Zebedee filly broke nicely under Adam from a wide draw and he held her in mid-division until he asked for an effort just over 2 furlongs out in which she responded immediately and took lead a furlong out to stay on strongly to win by a length and a quarter from the James McAuley trained Sister Lola.
Speaking afterwards, Ado said “He gave her a great ride because we were drawn wide enough. I told him to jump out and get the best possible position and tighten up around the bend. That’s exactly what he did and he didn’t panic up the straight.
The horse was there to take him where he wanted to go which was a big help.
She’s improved and we’ll probably have a shot at a bigger handicap here later on, either over six or seven.
She loves the surface, she likes a good solid surface. She’s an easy filly to train, we haven’t murdered her since she ran. She was third on the beach last week and she enjoyed that day as well.
“We’ll keep going with her and the handicapper will soon tell us when she’s going to stop. She’s a fun filly and we’ll have a bit of craic with her.”
