Review curragh 11th Oct
John Oxx's Rayeni opened his three-year-old account in the Go Racing In Kildare Festival Waterford Testimonial Stakes.
Second in the Irish 2,000 Guineas, Mick Kinane's mount (5-4 favourite) relished the drop back to six furlongs in this Listed heat.< Luisant looked to have gained a narrow lead inside the distance but the long-time leader fought back for a neck victory, with Genki in third.< Lady Lupus showed a likeable attitude to open her account and claim Listed honours in the Lanwades And Staffordstown Studs Stakes.
Jim Bolger's Atasari all in trouble two out but started to tire entering the final furlong, and Aidan O'Brien's 9-2 chance responded well to Johnny Murtagh's urgings to win by three-quarters of a length.
Noel Meade's classy dual-purpose performer Silverhand (7-1) landed another decent Flat prize when beating Trojan War in the Kevin Deering Lifetime In Racing Achievement Finale Stakes.
The five-year-old showed a good turn of foot to take the lead one furlong out before holding the Ballydoyle inmate by two lengths.
First-time blinkers worked the oracle for Dermot Weld's Bygone Age (5-1) in the opening Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden, while Padraig Beggy drove Shaun Harley's 14-1 shot Key Decision to a two and a half-length success in the Derrinstown Stud Apprentice Handicap.
Tom Taaffe's lightly-raced Treacle (7-1) snatched a last-gasp victory from Dashing Geroge in the Ladbrokes.com Munster National Handicap Chase at Limerick.< Dashing George was always to the fore under Paddy Flood and went to the front some five fences from the finish.
He was still going well when putting in a huge leap two-out, but Treacle had crept into it quietly and after edging ahead over the last, the stayed on best to score by a neck.
Adrian Maguire's 15-8 chance Let Yourself Go made every yard to land the Pricewaterhousecoopers Chase, while Warne (3-1) ran out an easy winner of the Listed Newenham Mulligan Novice Hurdle.
