Review killarney 17th May
Long Island Sound, right, outguns Elusive Heights
© Photo Healy Racing
< Long Island Sound maintained his unbeaten record with a professional performance in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Race at Killarney.
Seamie Heffernan dictated matters to suit himself on the 8-11 market leader, who was trying turf for the first time following a couple of Dundalk victories.< Elusive Heights was never too far away during the race and actually joined the favourite halfway down the straight, but Long Island Sound still hadn't given maximum effort and pulled away again for a one-length verdict.< Erysimum gave her six rivals weight and a beating in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Median Auction Fillies Race.
A wide-margin winner of a Sligo maiden in testing conditions at the start of the month, Willie McCreery's 9-4 shot had more on her plate here but went from the front and saw off the threat of Gilded Reflection by a length and three-quarters.< St Gallen made a successful start to his three-year-old career in the Celtic Steps The Show At Killarney Racecourse (C & G) Maiden.
The 14-1 chance got first run on favourite Monarch who suffered a troubled passage in the straight and his flourish came too late, with St Gallen hanging on by a short head.
Like Long Island Sound, The Mouse Doctor (8-1) had never raced competitively away from Dundalk but the grass helped him take his game to a new level in the Join Tote Rewards Today At thetote.com Handicap as he held the fast-finishing favourite Aspen Mountain a short head at bay.< Lightening Stricks (33-1) ended a drought of more than five years in the Ross Golf Course Membership From 250 Handicap (Div 1), while the second division went the way of 3-1 favourite Elusive In Paris for his first triumph on turf.< Le Vagabond struck over timber at Tramore less than a fortnight ago and successfully reverted to the Flat to defy top weight in the Follow Us On Facebook Handicap in the hands of Kieren Fallon.
