Ground key to Miss Amuletâs Curragh Classic challenge
Mon 17 May 2021
Miss Amuletâs Irish 1,000 Guineas bid hinges on going conditions after heavy ground scuppered her run in the French version of the race on Sunday.
The filly was an intended starter in ParisLongchampâs Poule dâEssai des Pouliches â the French 1000 Guineas â but very soft going at the Paris track put paid to that plan.
The race was supposed to be the greyâs opening run of the season, with heavy rainfall in both England and Ireland leaving conditions closer to home similarly dubious for a horse that favours good ground.
