Park Appeal

By the time she was sent to the Newmarket Sales a year later the achievements of her older half-sister Desirable made her a more appealing proposition and she was bought for 62,000 guineas by representatives of Paddy and Seamus Burns, a father and son team who operated the Lodge Park Stud.

She returned over the same course and distance later that month and produced a similar performance in the Oldtown Stud Stakes, leading inside the final furlong to beat Periferique by three-quarters of a length.

[6] Park Appeal next contested Ireland's most important race for two-year-old fillies, the Moyglare Stud Stakes over six furlongs at the Curragh in September.

Ridden by Declan Gillespie, Park Appeal overtook the English-trained filly Only inside the final furlong and accelerated clear to win by two and a half lengths.

On 16 May, more than a year after her previous appearance she finished third in an allowance race at Hollywood Park Racetrack and then.won the Country Queen Stakes at the same track on 1 June.

[10] In 1984 the independent Timeform organisation gave Park Appeal a rating of 122, three pounds below the French-trained Triptych, who was their top-rated two-year-old filly.
