Birdcage finishes season on a high Birdcage signed off for the season with victory in the opening nursery at Dundalk. The Ger Lyons-trained filly was sent off 10/11 favourite for the five-furlong contest and got the job done under Colin Keane. The Qatar Racing-owned filly claimed front-runner China Eyes over a furlong from home and kept on well in the closing stages to record a length success. Love Is All Around stayed on to take the runner-up spot. The winner was recording her second win of the year, having also landed her maiden on the all-weather back in May. "From what we've seen at home we thought she would do that today," said Lyons. "It was a lot of weight for a light filly. That's her done for the year and she'll be off to the horses-in-training sales. "I think we've done well to win twice with her this year as she'll be a better three-year-old. She's weak and on the leg. "Qatar have a lot of horses this year so they are culling some and she's one for that. She's done her job for Ger Lyons and I'm happy with her."
