Second up from a spell and stepped out to 1500m, Blue Eyed Brigid gave Christian Reith an easy steer when relishing the longer distance to race clear and win by more than four lengths in a dominant display at her fourth start.

A $110,000 Inglis Premier purchase from the Mill Park draft for her trainer, Blue Eyed Brigid is the second winner from two to race for Miracleofmiracles, a winning half-sister by More than Ready(USA) to stakes-winners Avisto (dam of G3 winner Annavisto) and Celtic Tiger.

Blue Eyed Brigid is the eighth winner of the new season for Farnan, who stands at Kia Ora Stud at a fee of $77,000 this spring.
