Blue Hussar swoops for the spoils Aidan O’Brien has a great record in the juvenile seven furlong colts and geldings maiden on this card at Leopardstown and those who did their homework would have been on Blue Hussar, the 7/2 joint favourite, on his debut. Seamie Heffernan produced the son of Montjeu down the outside in the final furlong and he mowed down the three leaders to win by three parts of a length. Screenshot, who raced prominently, came in second for Willie McCreery and Ben Curtis at 9/1, a head in front of Rousayan (9/2). The other 7/2 favourite, Streetcar To Stars, finished eighth of the 14 runners. Seamie Heffernan reported: “He was the best horse in the race. I was told to take my time on him and he won well in the end. He is a Montjeu with a lot of ability and hopefully he will progress.” Additional reporting by Donal Murphy
