Review: Gr.1 Moyglare Stud Stakes 2018
Patrick Prendergast and jockey Ronan Whelan were extremely pleased with
Skitter Scatter after her clear-cut success in the Moyglare Stud Stakes at the Curragh.
Skitter Scatter was a bit tardy at the start.
Lady Kaya cruised up alongside the pace-setting
Main Edition.
When it was Lady Kaya's win became a foregone conclusion in the final furlong, her stamina began to ebb away. Skitter Scatter chose the same moments to go into turbo mode and powered through to the wire, winning by two-lengths.
The 7-2 favourite had won a Group Three and a Group Two on her penultimate races and now has a Group One on her growing C.V.
The Scat Daddy filly has €331,555 in career earnings and Group Three, Group Two and now a Group One to her name.
