Daughter Of Yeats Impresses On Rules Debut

Is She Real (4f Yeats - Botoxinas, by Lauro) ran out an impressive winner of her bumper at Bellewstown on Wednesday.

The Yeats filly was second on her sole point-to-point start at Tattersalls Farm in May for Colin Motherway and made an eye-catching start to her career under rules for John McConnell.

Always prominent under Lelia Byrne, the four-year-old made smooth headway from three furlongs out and took up the lead with two furlongs left to run. She duly came home in fine style to score by ten lengths.

McConnell said of Is She Real: "She has just progressed. Colin Motherway is a great person to buy off because there is something left in the horses. A lot of these point-to-pointers, maybe they don't go on but with Colin you are always going to get a horse that goes on. We have had a lot of luck buying off him.

"He was very sweet on this filly, but she was still raw. She's progressing all the time - every bit of work she has done, she has got better and better and better. She worked with some of the winners recently and worked really well.

"She's fit, but there is definitely going to be improvement in her. The filly is exciting, I'm delighted with that.”

Is She Real was bred by Drumlin Bloodstock.
