Clad in purple, Jockey Ryan Moore thundered down Leopardstown Racecourse with Bedtime Story's charcoal gray coat rippling beneath him. The two-year old filly, bred by Coolmore and trained by A.P. O’Brien, was a heavy favorite entering July 25’s 5:50 p.m. Jockey Club of Turkey’s Silver Flash Series.
Bedtime Story delivered on her good odds. Although she started the race pressed against the inside rail in the middle of the pack, the filly used a late charge to extend away from the competition. Seven furlongs and 57 yards after leaving the gate, Moore and Bedtime Story crossed the finish line to win by several lengths.
Exactly, also a product of Coolmore and O’Brien, finished second. Both horses were sired by Frankel, a British former champion thoroughbred. O’Brien entered today’s race with five wins in the last eight seasons of 5:50 p.m. racing. The result marked a major victory for both O’Brien and Frankel.
