Halford scores with Snaefell

Sun 8th Aug 2010, 17:34

Snaefell from the Michael Halford stable added another big win to his name when coming home in front of the Patrick P O’Leary Memorial Phoenix Sprint Group 3 stakes in the hands of Shane Foley.

Foley who sat in rear for most mounted his challenge over a furlong out.

The Danehill Dancer gelding responded well to pressure to get up and lead close home for a three parts of a length win over Luisant

Winning trainer Halford stated: “He is a wonderful servant to have in the yard, he just loves it around the Curragh.”

“Pat Smullen rode him the last day and suggested we put a pair on blinkers on him as he was beginning to idle a bit.”

“I’m thrilled for Shane [Foley], I’m so lucky to have such two good hard working lads as Shane and Gary Carroll riding for me.”
