Amo’s Blanc De Blanc Ups Her Game In The Patton

Wait 5 sec.

While she may not be heading to any Triple Crown races, Amo Racing's progressive filly Blanc De Blanc (Not This Time) was taking all the qualifying points available with a command performance in Friday's Patton Race at Dundalk.Shaping with more professionalism than on her winning debut over this mile and course last month, the Robson De Aguiar-trained 7-2 favourite was able to track stablemate Flanker Jet (Oasis Dream) before striking a furlong out. Pushed out to the line by Donagh O'Connor, she registered a three-length verdict over Whatchadoin (Starman).“She's a very big and strong filly and was not properly doing things right there,” her rider said of the Irish 1,000 Guineas and Irish Oaks entry, who took the 20 points available for any prospective Kentucky Derby hopefuls here. “I thought I might pay the price, but when I gave her a squeeze she took off and galloped all the way to the line. She has a big engine and is going the right way. She'll get a trip in time and when she learns to jump and relax straightaway you'll see a much better filly again.”Proper horse, who holds entries in the Irish 1,000 Guineas and Irish Oaks, cuts loose @DundalkStadium for back-to-back C&D victories.The unbeaten daughter of Not This Time looks a real asset for @amoracingltd and @Robsonadeaguiar pic.twitter.com/woHIzVgI1a— Racing TV (@RacingTV) February 27, 2026The winner, who was a $575,000 Keeneland September graduate, is a daughter of the former Ballydoyle runner Wonderful (Galileo) who is a full-sister to their Breeders' Cup Turf and Irish 2,000 Guineas and hero Magician as well as the GIII Dowager Stakes winner Apple Betty and the Belmont Oaks Invitational-placed Outstanding.
