Smullen shines on Sense Of Purpose

A finely-judged ride from the front by Pat Smullen enabled Sense Of Purpose to fend off Marksmanship and Bob le Beau in the Group 3 feature Ballyroan Stakes at Leopardstown. Thu 04th Aug

Going updates

The going for this evening's card at Leopardstown (5.45pm) is now good. The Group 3 Ballyroan Stakes provides the highlight at 8.00pm. The mile and a half contest sees Jessica Harrington's Bob Le Beau clash with Aidan O'Brien's Marksmanship and Dermot Weld's Sense Of Purpose. Thu 04th Aug

Bob Le Beau has Harrington confident

Jessica Harrington is confident Bob Le Beau can continue his excellent run of form when he goes for Group Three glory in this evening's Ballyroan Stakes at Leopardstown. Thu 04th Aug

Review curragh 3rd Apr

St Nicholas Abbey proved a disappointment on his return from a long lay-off as Unaccompanied took the geegeez.co.uk Alleged Stakes at the CurraghSun 03rd Apr

Ship makes his Mark on debut

Marksmanship is set to contest one of the Derby Trials after an impressive winning debut in the 1m2f maiden at the Curragh. Sun 03rd Apr

After race at Curragh Sun, 3rd Apr, 2011 (1st)

He did it nicely and I'm delighted with him. He was drawn badly but travelled well,. He looked a clear cut winner over some fancied horses and we'll look at a Derby trial for him now. Being by Galileo a step up in trip shouldn't be a problem for him.
