Flying The Flag keeps up the family honour The betting suggested strongly that the Leopardstown.com Race lay between Einsteins Folly (7/2 this morning into 15/8) and Flying The Flag (7/4 into 5/4 on track) and so it proved out on the course with the latter prevailing under Joseph O'Brien for his father Aidan. Einsteins Folly tried hard from the front under Kevin Manning and it looked like his efforts would pay off as they approached the business end. However Flying Flag overcame the understandable greenness of a first-timer to quicken in the style of a potentially very useful sort, getting on top in the closing stages for a three parts of a length win. Joseph O'Brien said of the beautifully-bred Ballydoyle juvenile: "He was as green as grass and he's done well to win considering. "I'd imagine he'll step up to Listed or Group company now and he'll be well up to it." (GC & EM)
