Eurobird (horse)

[2] The Irish St. Leger, run on heavy ground at the Curragh on 11 October, saw Eurobird, with Asmussen in the saddle, start the 9/4 second choice in the betting behind the British-trained four-year-old Moon Madness.

The other six runners included Ibn Bey, Spruce Baby, Waterfield (fourth in the St Leger Stakes), Too Phar and Old Dundalk (third in the Queen's Vase).

Eurobird was restrained towards the rear before moving into contention in the straight by which point both Moon Madness and Ibn Bey were beginning to struggle in the testing conditions.

A furlong and a half from the finish she moved alongside the leader Waterfield and the forged clear of the field to win by eight lengths, with Spruce Baby staying on to take second place.

[2] At the end of the year the independent Timeform organisation gave her a rating of 118, making her fourteen pounds inferior to their top-rated three-year-old filly Indian Skimmer.

[6] In her two subsequent races she finished third to Kris Kringle in the Blandford Stakes on 16 October and unplaced in the Prix Royal Oak at Longchamp Racecourse a week later.
