Molto Bene (IRE)
Molto Bene (IRE)
2019 Bay filly by Jukebox Jury ex Molo (Kalanisi)
This unraced 4 year old filly is by Jukebox Jury, a winner of the Group 1 Irish St Leger and son of the excellent sire-of-sires Montjeu. Jukebox Jury is the sire of the wonderful dual-purpose mare Princess Zoe, a Group 3 winner on the flat before going hurdling, and of Grade 1 winners Il Etait Temps and Farclas to name just two of his talented jumps progeny.
The dam, Molo, was a three-time winner herself and has produced an exciting horse in Cuthbert Dibble, her only runner to date. This is a great family, with Molo being a half-sister to a whole host of decent horses, not least the Listed winning Banjaxed Girl who is also the dam of Le Milos, winner of the Coral Gold Cup (formerly known as the Hennessy) at Newbury.
This is a very strong pedigree and Molto Bene didn’t take long to get her head in front, winning at Plumpton on just her fourth start! She is a gutsy little filly who will now have a summer holiday, and we look forward to seeing her again next season when the mud is flying!
