LAKE VICTORIA - Africa's largest lake & an impressive debut winner for team Ballydoyle

Lake Victoria just held off the late charge of Red Letter in what could prove a very informative renewal of the Kildare House Hotel Irish EBF Fillies Maiden at the Curragh.
Ryan Moore kicked clear just under two furlongs out and at that stage looked set for an emphatic victory on board Aidan O’Brien’s Lake Victoria.
However, fellow 5-2 joint-favourite Red Letter, also sired by Frankel, came out of the pack to finish very strongly and went down by just a neck for Ger Lyons and Colin Keane in the Juddmonte colours.
The pair pulled well clear of the rest in the seven-furlong contest and the winner earned a quote of 20-1 for next year’s 1000 Guineas from Paddy Power, as well as being priced up at 25-1 for the Oaks.
Lake Victoria is a daughter of former Commonwealth Cup and Sprint Cup heroine Quiet Reflection, who has already produced 2022 Dante third Bluegrass and recent Queen’s Vase fifth The Equator.
“We’re delighted with her. She was showing lovely work at home,” said O’Brien, who sent out another Frankel filly, Bedtime Story, to win so brilliantly last week at Royal Ascot.
“It was her first day out, first day at the track, so you’d have to be very happy with her. Ryan was very happy with her.
“She was green and Ryan said he didn’t mean to send her on as early, but when she went there, she started pricking her ears and waiting. She was never away and hadn’t been in front that much.
“He said he had to make her get down and do it but he said she still had her ears pricked going to the line, that’s always a good sign.
“Obviously she’ll go into one of the good fillies’ races. She has loads of speed, they didn’t go very fast but she still travelled very well and quickened very well.
“I think probably the Silver Flash or something like that. Obviously, depending on where some of the other fillies will go and we’ll see what the lads want to do.”

such nonscence, how dumb a theory that he couldnt train frankels,what sort of a mind would come up with a theory like that.a frankel has four legs similar to a wooden bassett or a justify.no better business than racing for dump,brainless theories that are not based in any logic.😄

Extraordinaria carrera de 15 caballos Saludos a la gente bonita de Inglaterra! 🇬🇧

[@bordercollie1140]

The race was in Ireland 🇮🇪

[@tomojay28]

Don't like the change in body language when asked about City of Troy; dropped his head, didn't look the interviewer in the eye, furrowed brow, & inexplicably starting reciting his usual post-race litany of employees associated with the horse instead of answering the question; James Doyle did something similar when asked how Vandeek was doing ahead of the Commonwealth at Ascot...2 days later horse was out of the race.

[@johnlawler6476]

Where did you get your psych masters from?

[@josephmaher4270]

city of troy proved in derby what he is and aidan is very honest and open,time has proved that,

[@bordercollie1140]

​@@johnlawler6476Better off not replying so self confessed geniuses John. I find Aidan to be a very honest man so I think I'd rather listen to what he says rather than some amateur body language expert.

[@salsabil44]

I was more taken by the second, also a Frankel debutante, who came from much further back than the winner.

[@Dwayndibb]

Yes well that was obvious of the 2 Frankel fillies

[@jamesharper586]

Yes but coming from further back doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a horse with more potential. Doing it from the front isn’t easy either

[@bordercollie1140]

​@@jamesharper586You were correct my friend, lake Victoria just beat red letter again. Could be anything.

[@ontheleveltv8900]

Win in good style a short head - Red Letter could reverse the form, however the winner won the Sweet Solera Stakes since

[@EddisonToussaint]

Why haven't they got 4 legs like the others?😂😂

[@robertdelacy3434]

An people said adian obrien couldn't train Frankel progeny

[@jamespage6628]

Who said that?

[@Dwayndibb]

I think they stopped when Bedtime story won by 9 lengths at Royal Ascot. That would kind of settle things.

[@nightowl7459]

Who? Just who? I have never heard that said.

[@nightowl7459]

​@@DwayndibbAre you slow or something? He's had a few Frankel horse winning before bedtime.

[@robertdelacy3434]

@@nightowl7459 I've seen a few here said it his record is terrible with frankels

[@Priyath1010]

Well done genius Aiden

[@nightowl7459]

Please spare us that much over used accolade genius.
