Tapestry a Matron Possible

Ballydoyle conditioner Aidan O’Brien has indicated G1 Yorkshire Oaks victress Tapestry (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) will likely remain on home soil for her next start, and is a possible contender for the Coolmore-sponsored G1 Matron S. going one mile at Leopardstown Sept. 13. 

“We probably wouldn’t like to travel again for her next start so it is possible she’ll stay at home,” revealed O’Brien. “She may run in the Matron as we’d rather stay at home and not go a mile and a half. She can step up in trip again after that. She’ll obviously have an option [in the G1 Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe or G1 Prix de l’Opera] on Arc weekend or miss that [meet] and go to America, so there’s a big chance she’ll stay home and go for the Matron.”
