Success Days off the mark as a sire

Inner Success made all the running to win the Brian Dunlop Architects Kilkenny (C & G) Maiden at odds of 22/1.

On his third start, the Billy Lee-ridden winner accounted for Duraji by two and a half lengths.

The homebred gelding is by Success Days who was a multiple stakes winner for owner Robert Ng and trainer Ken Condon in the middle part of the last decade.

Condon remarked: “We were a bit perplexed at Limerick as we were expecting him to come forward a good bit from his first run at Leopardstown which was on heavy ground, but it just didn’t happen. 

“His work has been consistent all spring and he was working like a maiden winner. Billy said he’s still a work in progress and was a bit lairy in front but he can gallop. 

“It took him a while to pull up which is usually a good sign. He could go a mile and a half.

“He was Success Days’ first runner and his first winner. Like father like son, he won his maiden here as a two-year-old. 

“It’s important for the sire. We were fond of him and he’s only had the two runners.”
