Review CURRAGH 27TH AUG

Miss Beatrix flew home to snatch Group 1 glory in the Moyglare Stud Stakes at the Curragh on Sunday.

Willie Supple settled the Danehill Dancer filly out the back before producing her with a power packed finish in the final furlong.

Kevin Prendergast's charge just collared English raider Silca Chiave on the line to land the 300,000 contest.

'There was a doubt about her getting seven as her dam only got six,' revealed Prendergast afterwards. 'Willie said he should have been second in the Heinz last time and we saw the sixth horse winning the Group 3 earlier today.'

The Shelbourne Hotel Goffs Fillies Five Hundred is next on the agenda for the winner. Supple was delighted to team up with his former boss for the Group 1 victory.

'The boss has done a wonderful job with her. She was a bit free before but settled well today. I'm delighted as we had a good partnership for years.'

Winning owner Bill Durkan completed a big race double when the Michael Halford-trained Quinmaster claimed the ladbrokes.com EBF Irish Cambridgeshire.

Johnny Murtagh was at the head of affairs throughout on the gelding and he stayed on strongly in the closing stages to hold off the challenge of Fields Of Joy by a neck.

'That will be him out of handicaps now,' said Halford. 'He could go for a Listed race but I've always had it at the back of my head to run him over hurdles. The 4-y-o hurdle at Listowel is a possibility.'

Rabatash quickened smartly inside the final furlong to run out an impressive winner of the Go And Go Round Tower Stakes.

Wayne Lordan let the colt edge into the lead two furlongs out in the Group 3 contest and he sprinted away from his field when asked for an effort, going on to beat Chivalrous by three lengths.

'That's always what he promised. He has always shown plenty at home,' said winning trainer David Wachman.

'He's big and weak and will make a nice horse next season. He'll probably have one more run - we'll throw him in at the deep end somewhere and see what happens.'

Benbaun gained due reward for his consistency as the English sprinters dominated the Nolan & Brophy Auctioneers Flying Five Stakes.

Pat Smullen produced the gelding to challenge front-runner Desert Lord inside the final furlong of the Group 3 and he kept on strongly to gain a head verdict.

'He's one of the best sprinters in Europe,' said winning trainer Mark Wallace. 'It was only a matter of time till he won again and he must be the most consistent of the sprinters. He has been invited to Japan and I would be very tempted to go there.'

Blessyourpinksox continued the flying form of Peter Casey's yard when claiming the Listed Dance Design Stakes. Substitute Ted Durcan produced her with a strong run over a furlong out, before holding the late challenge of Ardbrae Lady by a neck.

'She did it well and he rode to instructions. The fast early pace suited her - they went a bit mad. She could go for the Group 2 Blanford Stakes here (Sept. 19th) - she likes this track,' said assistant trainer Francis Casey.

Kevin Prendergast completed a double on the card when newcomer Haatef ran out an impressive winner of the concluding K & M Timber EBF Maiden.

Crossing showed great determination to hold the persistent challenge of Rockall Blizzard by a head in the Mooney's Of Monasterevin Handicap while Excelerate produced a good turn of foot inside the final furlong to claim the opening Free To Speak Apprentice Handicap.
