+GIANT'S TREASURE (IRE) (c, 3, Shamardal–Ballybacka Lady {Ire} {GSW-Ire, $112,787}, by Hurricane Run {Ire}) was well away to stalk the pace in second from the outset of this first go. Easing to the front hard on the steel at the top of the straight, the 7-4 favourite was shaken up approaching the eighth pole and surged clear in the closing stages to score by an impressive 4 1/2 lengths from Trenchard (Elusive Quality). The 105,000gns TATFOA foal and 525,000gns TATOCT yearling is the first scorer out of G3 Derrinstown Stud 1000 Guineas Trial victress Ballybacka Lady (Ire) (Hurricane Run {Ire}) and is kin to the 2-year-old filly Namar (Ire) (Intello {Ger}). He hails from a family which also includes G1 Queensland Derby and G1 South Australian Derby placegetter Westsouthwest (NZ) (Darci Brahma {NZ}), and G1 New Zealand Oaks third Aurora Lights (NZ) (Darci Brahma {NZ}). Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, £3,235.
