Lady Iman (Ire)

Ger Lyons had sent just two prior runners across the Irish Sea for the Glorious Goodwood meet and the trainer struck for his first success when the third, Lady Iman (Starman), overpowered seven rivals, racing under a three-pound penalty, in Wednesday's G3 HKJC World Pool Molecomb Stakes. She had previously annexed the Listed First Flier Stakes and G3 Naas Fillies Sprint and embellished a banner season for her freshman sire with a decisive win in the five-furlong contest. Lady Iman's victory comes with a free ticket to the $1 million...

Making it a quickfire double on The Curragh's Saturday card for the lethal combination of Aidan O'Brien, Ryan Moore and Wootton Bassett, Beautify ended the unbeaten run of Lady Iman (Starman) in a demanding renewal of the G2 Airlie Stud Stakes. "Ryan was very impressed. He said he'd love to go up to seven with her, that's a very good sign when you hear him talking like that," the Ballydoyle handler said.

Lady Iman had already provided Starman with his first black-type winner and things only got better for Tally Ho Stud on Sunday as she led home a one-two for their much-vaunted first-crop sire in Naas's G3 Coolmore Stud Irish EBF Blackbeard Fillies Sprint Stakes. Having made the breakthrough in The Curragh's Listed First Flier Stakes earlier this month, the Ger Lyons-trained half-sister to the talented sprinter West Acre travelled with ease under Colin Keane before hunting down the sire's other runner Green Sense in the final furlong. At the line,...

Ger Lyons trainee Lady Iman (Starman) lined up as unbeaten winner-of-one for Monday's Listed Holden Plant Rentals First Flier Stakes and continued her winning streak to provide her freshman sire with a breakthrough stakes winner at the Curragh. The crowd's 4-7 selection, fresh off a Mar. 28 maiden win at Dundalk, broke swiftly and raced in a close-up fourth through the early stages of this five-furlong contest. Going well on the bridle when slipping one position passing the quarter-mile marker, she eased through a gap to lead with 100 yards...

Dundalk's gossip was red-hot about the debutante Lady Iman (Ire) on Friday and the 4-6 favourite did not disappoint to get her Tally-Ho Stud-based first-season sire Starman (GB) off to a flyer. Happy to stalk early, the Ger Lyons-trained half-sister to the G2 Blue Point Sprint and G3 Nad Al Sheba Turf Sprint winner West Acre (Ire) (Mehmas {Ire}) took control two out and despite running green was the authoritative 3 1/2-length winner from Stop The Nation (Ire) (Sioux Nation). "We thought she was a nice filly and she is,"...
