Revolutme leaves Sligo disappointment behind quickly

Revolutme left behind a disappointing show at Sligo on Friday when producing a game front-running performance to claim the Sheehy Motors Handicap at the Curragh this afternoon.

The grey daughter of Fast Company went to post a 16/1 shot having been well held in fifth when sent off favourite at the north-west venue the other day.

Danny Sheehy had his mount to the fore throughout in the six-furlong event and she stuck on well in the closing stages to record a length-and-a-quarter success over Tammany Hall

“She didn't handle the track in Sligo and we were very disappointed,” said Murtagh.

“Ben (Coen) said she got a bit of a bump on the bend there as well. I told Danny that he was drawn one and to just go straight as I think she got intimidated the last day.

“We always thought she'd be capable of winning one of these nurseries. She will like softer ground so hopefully she can improve from here and pick up another one of those.

“She's tough, hardy, she's not too big but has a great heart.

“It was hugely disappointing at Sligo but she's made amends today.”
