No amount of money can convince the owner of the impressive Curragh girlhood winner Matilda Piccotte (Ire) (Sioux Country) to give up his dream of stepping into the ring of a winner at Royal Ascot, according to Kieran Cotter’s coach, who has said “everyone wants a piece” of Queen Mary’s top speed runner.
Matilda Piccotte Maintains Coolmore’s First Season Mare’s Flying Starts Sioux Country by scoring it all to score on her debut at Curragh on Monday and, in doing so, she has placed some huge bets.
The land’s owners are not for sale, with Cotter revealing several potential suitors have been turned down, and Matilda Picote’s ties now looking to roll the dice with the prospect of luxury.
Cotter explained: “The phone has been going crazy since Monday. Everyone is looking for a part of her but at least she’s not for sale at this point. The boys will sit still. There are a few men involved with her so if they sell her now she will make a lot of money but when you divide it all it won’t be a life changing amount for all. both participants.
“Also, there were a few boys involved who had been unlucky with horses over the years, so now that they’ve found someone smart enough to take them to Royal Ascot, they’re prepared to throw the dice. dice. This is their first turn in after dismounting, so I can tell they are in no hurry to withdraw. “
Matilda Picote is the fourth horse of Sioux Country got it’s first win on the first ask and it’s no surprise to those closest to the villains because they’ve backed her from odds as big as 40-1 down to a starting price of just 8-1.
“When you go out with young Curragh for the first time, you know you can bump into anything, but we thought it took a very smart horse to beat her,” Cotter said. She opened 40-1 and we assisted her to 5-1 before she came back to 8-1. We had a few questions but, in insight, we should have had more. “
He added: “Jim Ryan bred filth and it was a coincidence that her half-sister Ginsburg (Ire) (Lawman {Fr}) overcame the handicap of her innermost apprentice. a day. She did a really good job about a month ago and we said half-jokingly, Queen Mary here we come – we’re going to Royal Ascot. Now it looks like it could become a reality. ”
Before that, Matilda Piccotte could be targeted at the Marble Hill Stakes in Curragh on May 21, with Cotter making the broader view that the ambitions of this major race would be unachievable if he were training. dance practice in Ireland.
He explains: “We will be joining Marble Hill Stock at Curragh next and then hope that all the systems will be used for Royal Ascot. The dream is living.
“It is easier to get a good horse on the Flat in Ireland because the dances are monopolized by only a handful of trainers. It’s probably even more financially viable for an owner to go buy a horse at the Apartment as it can be turned around much faster. “
He added: “None of our horses cost more than €20,000 or €30,000. You won’t earn a third grade jumper on a store sale for that kind of money. “
“We have six two-year-olds, two of which have won, and with a little luck we will have a few more teenage winners because they are so cute. Most of our winners are in the speed-5 or 6 stretch category. “
