Serialise (11/1) registered her second career success at Cork today as the Jessica Harrington-trained, Shane Foley-partnered filly landed the Irish Stallion Farms EB Handicap for owner Robert Lanigan.
The Footstepsinthesand-sired three year old won her maiden in May and today chased pace-setting Linger For Longer before moving to lead inside the final furlong, holding Kailasa by a neck.
Afterwards Foley said “I was a bit worried about the track and the race being too sharp (distance-wise) but Dylan (Browne McMonagle, jockey) was dixying away and gave us something to aim at.
“I was a little uncomfortable when she came off the bridle in the middle part of the race but she is a filly who stays well and probably wants to go a mile and a turning track might suit her better.”
