Soaring Sky (No.1) finishes strongly for Shane Foley

Soaring Sky made it a quick double on the day for Jessica Harrington and Shane Foley when coming with a real rattle on the outer to land the Follow Limerick Racecourse On Twitter Handicap.
The 10/1 chance, a Dundalk maiden winner on debut last autumn, quickened up well to pass most of her eight rivals inside the final furlong for a half-length verdict over Macadam’s Rock. Sassified was just a short-head away in third, and the result was confirmed following a stewards enquiry with the first and third both edging right in the closing stages.
The in-form Harrington/Foley combination were adding to the victory of the well-backed 5/2 favourite Still Standing in the previous race.
Foley said, "She was up in trip and was a bit keen over a mile the last day and wants that trip.
"We changed tactics today, dropped her right in and got her to relax. Today was a learning curve more than anything and it is a bonus for her to go and win.
"Our horses are coming, the two year olds aren't quite there yet but the older ones are flying the flag well and it's a long season."
