Heirloom completes a Ballydoyle double Heirloom led home a 1-2 for Ballydoyle when completing a double for Aidan & Joseph O’Brien in the Join Go Racing In Kildare 2014 Finale Stakes. The Dansili colt came off a strong pace to lead a furlong out, and kept on well to beat long-time absent stablemate Sir Walter Scott by two and a quarter lengths to leave the record-breaking Joseph O'Brien on the 119 winner mark for the season. Jazz Girl ensured the mile and a half contest was a truly run affair, and was closely tracked by Drifting Mist with the remainder of the nine-runner field well strong out. Drifting Mist took it up briefly early in the straight as Jazz Girl gave way and, although headed by the winner a furlong out, held on for third spot in this Listed event. “He stays well and I was delighted with both of them. Heirloom has been progressing with every run. He wants nice ground and a fast run mile and a half. He’s a big horse who should continue to progress next year,” said O’Brien.
