EVIE THE LATEST BUBBLY PURCHASE

Ian Fortune

After just two starts over six bends, Tullymurry Evie has certainly caught the attention of many keen observers.

The January ’24 daughter of Grangeview Ten and Stellas Fruity posted a sizzling 41.47 for the 750yd trip at Shelbourne Park last weekend and the Champagne Club Syndicate have stepped into buy a half share from her owner Tony Dean.

The John McQuillan trained star is due to race at Shelbourne on Derby final night in the Open 750 and will then be journeying across the water with the immediate target the Ballyregan Bob Memorial at Hove, although the ultimate aim is the TV Trophy in 2026.

We wish her new owners the best of luck with her, although given her youth and inexperience, there seems no doubt she will develop into a really top class stayer as she strengthens further.
