Shale gets the better of Pretty Gorgeous as dream season continues for Donnacha O’Brien
Moyglare triumph yet another Group One for fledgling handler.
Donnacha O’Brien’s Shale got the better of his brother Joseph’s Pretty Gorgeous in the Moyglare Stud Stakes at the Curragh. The two fillies have clashed three times now this season, with Shale currently holding the upper hand with two victories to one. Pretty Gorgeous was sent off the 11-10 favourite having comprehensively outpointed Shale when they last met in the Debutante Stakes. Shale (9-2) had two and a half lengths to find with Pretty Gorgeous, but was always in the right place under Ryan Moore.You never want to lose to your brother.
