Red Cadeaux thrashes Curragh Cup rivals The defection of Times Up (ground) from the Group 3 At The Races Curragh Cup opened things up for the rest and Red Cadeaux with Tom McLaughlin up took advantage in no uncertain terms, staying on strongly at the business end to eclipse Zerashan and the rest by nine lengths and more. Leading two down, the victorious cross-channel raider put the race to bed from a furlong out, drawing clear to prevail in great style. Winning trainer Ed Dunlop said: "He was favourite to win the Chester Cup but he didn't like the ground. He won a Listed handicap at Hamilton after that and on his last run at Pontefract he was coming to win when he got knocked over. "He loves that ground, he stays well and he was very impressive. "We might have to bring him back for the Irish Leger now." Favourite Nebula Storm was reported to have stopped very quickly in the straight by his rider Johnny Murtagh. He was found by the Turf Club vet to be blowing hard post race. Also Admiral Of The Red was reported by his rider, Colm O'Donoghue to have hung badly in the latter stages.
