Friday's winner at The Curragh was The Franchise, the 7/1 shot was in midfield making headway from 3 out. He kept on well to lead inside the final 110 yards beating Booyea by 1/2 a length. In the earlier race Lygon Street was 4th, the 11/2 chance tracked the leaders sitting 4th at halfway. He had dropped to 6th a furlong out but railed in the closing stages managing to take 4th again before the finish. Upfront Tudor City beat Gradulatuons by 1/2 a length.
July begins on Saturday with day 2 at The Curragh where on an 8 race card there are 2 features.
2.15: Airlie Stud Stakes (Group 2)
6: Matrika: Was a course and distance winner on debut in May before finishing an excellent 2nd behind Porta Fortuna in the Albany at Royal Ascot 8 days ago. She led from a furlong out there only being passed in the closing stages and with her yard in good form she is the one to beat here.
3.25: Yulong Pretty Polly Stakes (Group 1)
7: Via Sistina: A smart mare who picked up her career best win in the Dahlia Stakes at Newmarket 55 days ago. She moved into the lead 2 out going clear close to home and easily beating Al Husn by 6 lengths. That impressive performance sets a high standard and she can complete a hat-trick here.
As this is my 1,000th post I just wanted to say a big thank you to all of you for your support and fingers crossed for another 1,000.
