Babouche had to work hard to maintain her unbeaten record in the Jebel Ali Racecourse And Stables Anglesey Stakes at the Curragh. The daughter of Kodiac had impressed in her debut at Cork last month, and she was the market leader at 13-8 to secure another victory for owners Juddmonte, trainer Ger Lyons, and jockey Colin Keane. Despite a rough start, Babouche rallied and overtook the early leader, Treasure Isle. Aidan O’Brien’s Camille Pissarro provided stiff competition in the final furlong, but Babouche emerged victorious by half a length.
Lyons praised Babouche's temperament and performance, hinting at a potential step up to Group One level in the future. Red Letter, another winner for Lyons earlier in the day, showcased dominance in the Sycamore Lodge Equine Hospital Irish EBF Fillies Maiden. The Frankel filly led from the start and accelerated to a comfortable victory, confirming her potential for future success. Lyons expressed excitement for Red Letter's future development. Overall, it was a successful day for Babouche and Red Letter at the Curragh.
