Introduction
Sometimes, names for
horses can feel a little confusing. When it comes to Minding, though,
it’s quite fitting: most of the time, it’s minding its own
business waiting at the end of the race for other horses!
An incredibly
powerful horse that has picked up a huge set of wins since 2015, its
most recent being the Mooresbridge Stakes in early 2017, Minding is a
modern horse of incredible power, strength and stamina. Having
already formed an impressive career record and being named the
top-rated three-year-old filly on the planet, Minding has become a
bit of a name within the world of horse racing.
Career Summary
Starting out in
2015, the impressive Minding started out her racing career ridden by
Seamie Heffernan at the Leoardstown Racecourse. Losing out on the
final furlong of the race, it won a repeat of the race a few weeks
later and thus a career was suitably established. 2015 witnessed
Minding pick up its first trophy at the Moyglare Stud Stakes in 2015,
followed by the Filles’ Mile and the 1000 Guineas in 2016. It
quickly settled into the competitive nature of the sport,
establishing a name for itself with wins at the likes of the Epsom
Oaks and the Pretty Polly Stakes.
2016 seen it finish
up with impressive wins at the Nassau Stakes and then the Queen
Elizabeth II Stakes. So far in 2017, she has picked up a major win at
the Mooresbridge Stakes – with the likelihood and the opportunity
of even more to come in the future.
Now entering her
four-year-old season, it’s going to be very interesting to see how
she continues on along her career path moving forward. Having
defeated the likes of Moonlight Magic recently, too, it’s easy to
see why such a high opinion of Minding already exists.
