Statement flies home in Concorde
Jospeh O’Brien’s filly backs up Listed win with Group Three success at Tipperary.
Statement lived up to her name in impressive fashion, powering to a wide-margin success in the Group Three Coolmore US Navy Flag Concorde Stakes at Tipperary. The Joseph O’Brien-trained four-year-old was quickly turned out, having taken a Listed race at Cork on Tuesday, which provided her with just a second career success. Yet the lightly-raced daughter of Lawman proved a completely different proposition over the extended seven-furlong trip, the 5-2 favourite appreciating the soft ground and quickly scooting clear with two furlongs to race under Dylan Browne McMonagle. Winner of the 2020 renewal, Current Option gave vain chase, but did little to cut into the deficit and ended five and a half lengths adrift at the line, with Prettiest a further length and a quarter back in third.Goodness me, Statement has had some week for @JosephOBrien2 and @DylanBrowneMcM
