Halford/Foley win with pair of juvenile fillies

After Michael Halford doubled his score on the evening at Dundalk with Indrahar (4/5 favourite) in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden, he said: "She got the job done which was important. She's a very straight forward and honest filly but just doesn't want extremes of ground. It was too heavy at Listowel and another day I was thinking of running her at Naas and it was very fast."

Shane Foley rode both Halford winners, an hour earlier getting the job done on the Aga Khan's Kadra in the 6.05.

Here the Godolphin-owned Indrahar stepped up on previous third and second placings to short head the sweet-travelling second favourite Sufoof

"The steady pace didn't suit and it developed into a bit of a sprint. She'd appreciate another furlong but we took a chance. I've a few more two-year-olds to run and will try to keep them apart. She won't run again this year," added Halford.

"We have about 20 horses in total for the all-weather at Dundalk up to Christmas."

My Racing Story. Harry Swan

I grew up in Cloughjordan, Co Tipperary and dad was training, so we always had ponies around the home. My mother got me riding first, I started riding small ponies just to get me going over a few jumps. I'd say I was on a horse since I could stand. Then I progressed to a bit of pony club. I remember late evenings doing show jumping competitions after school and really enjoyed it from the start. Then as I got a bit older, I started doing a bit of Tetrathlon - running, riding and swimming - and I went to England on the Irish team for that. I loved it and did loads of it. After that, I started getting into the eventing a good bit. My mother was quite a good eventer when she was younger. I got a nice pony that my sister was meant to ride as I had a pony that got injured. I went to the Pony Europeans (Championships) and everything with him and did loads of internationals with him. It was massive experience and I think eventing is very good for your eye when it comes to jumping. It was a massive help to have done that.
