Dermot Weld: Last News

Savethelastdance could have stablemate Warm Heart among eight rivals when she has another crack at Classic honours in Saturday's Darley Irish Oaks at the Curragh.

Chris Hayes celebrated his first Royal Ascot winner as Tahiyra landed the odds in the Coronation Stakes.

Dermot Weld appears to have a smart prospect on his hands after the well-bred Knight To King made an eye-catching winning debut at Gowran.

Dermot Weld's Tahiyra features amongst the 22 confirmations for the Qipco 1000 Guineas, the opening fillies Classic of the season.

Dermot Weld has been around the track enough times to know never to get too high or too low about his stable's latest 'good thing'.

Dermot Weld expects the beautifully-bred Tahiyra to go on to bigger and better things after making a sparkling debut on day two of the Galway Festival. The master of Rosewell House has made Ballybrit his own over the years and this daughter of Siyouni was sent off at 7-2 to make a successful start to her career in the Colm Quinn BMW Irish EBF Fillies Maiden. The two-year-old is a half-sister to the trainer's brilliant racemare Tarnawa, who finished third in the same race on her introduction in 2018 before going on to win three Group Ones and take second in last year's Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe. It might be a little early to suggest Tahiyra can scale those heights, but she certainly looks to have inherited a good portion of her sibling's ability judged on her six-and-a-half-length romp under Chris Hayes, prompting Paddy Power to give her a 20-1 quote for next year's 1000 Guineas.

Classic heroines Homeless Songs, Cachet and Mangoustine are among 14 fillies confirmed for a mouthwatering renewal of the Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot on Friday.
