Impressive Rasmeyaa breaks her maiden in style

New Approach filly becomes the 11th winner for the leading first-season sire

Rasmeyaa, who started her racing career with a third-place finish in the Listed Flame Of Tara Stakes, shed her maiden tag on her second start with an easy victory at Leopardstown on Saturday.

The daughter of New Approach won the seven-furlong contest by five and a half lengths to become the 11th winner for the leading first-season sire.

Bred by Ennistown Stud from the Indian Ridge mare Posterity, Rasmeyaa is a half-sister to G3 Desmond Stakes winner Future Generation and she topped the Orby Sale at Goffs last year when selling for €350,000 to Shadwell.

New Approach is the sire of three stakes winners, including the unbeaten G1 Dewhurst Stakes hero and 2,000 Guineas favourite Dawn Approach.
