Decorated Knight added yet another winner to his record on Friday when Decorated Guest won well for Liam McAteer at Dundalk.
Relishing the step up in trip, Decorated Guest was always travelling well for Wesley Joyce and only had to be pushed out to score by three-quarters of a length from the Aga Khan’s Haroya.
The three-year-old was bred by Mylestown Farms Ltd out of Magie Noire, by Marju.
“He travelled in the straight really well and came home best,” Liam McAteer told Irishracing.com. “He travelled and he got a grand ride. He’s [Wesley Joyce] a good claimer.”
Decorated Guest joins SILVER BULLET LADY (a winner on debut at Salisbury), WIND YOUR NECK IN (a two-time winner at Salisbury and Newmarket), LADY FANTASIA (a winner at Chantilly) and DAMAAR (a winner at Sandown Park) as exciting winners from the first crop of Decorated Knight.
Decorated Knight is also sire of the exciting KNIGHT OF HONOUR, who closed fast to finish third on his only start at Leicester last season. Trained by John and Thady Gosden, Knight Of Honour holds entries in the Derby and Prix du Jockey Club.
Decorated Knight, a multiple Group 1 winner by Galileo out of Pearling, a full-sister to champion sire Giant’s Causeway, stands at the Irish National Stud. He is excellent value for the 2022 season at €7,500.
