Trainer Jessica Harrington and stable jockey Shane Foley combined for a double at Limerick today as they completed the feat in the Ballyduane Stud (Fillies) Race with Morpho Blue

The daughter of Mastercraftsman was a maiden winner at Leopardstown 15 days ago and today held off the challenge of Kaftan inside the final furlong to score by a short head.

Afterwards Harrington's daughter Kate Harrington stated “I'd say the mile stretches her a bit and ideally a stiff seven is her trip and she is a filly going the right way who has a beautiful page.

“She dug really deep today and we might go looking for black-type with her now.”
