Ouija Board headed for Irish Champion

Last updated: 8/30/06 8:59 PM

Lord Derby's OUIJA BOARD (GB) (Cape Cross [Ire]) will contest next Saturday's

Irish Champion S. (Ire-G1) at Leopardstown. Trainer Ed Dunlop told the Racing

Post that the alternative option of the following afternoon's Prix Vermeille

(Fr-G1) had been ruled out due to softening ground conditions in France.

Having overseen the multiple Group 1 heroine's exercise on the Newmarket

slopes, the conditioner told the Post, "I was very happy with her work and we

are aiming towards Ireland -- the ground in France looks like being very soft

for the Prix Vermeille."

Dunlop has yet to confirm riding plans for the five-year-old mare, last seen

taking the August 5 Nassau S. (Eng-G1) at Goodwood.
