Sors produced a fine front-running performance to land the K Club Handicap at the Curragh.
Pat Smullen always had the Acclamation gelding to the fore in the five-furlong contest and he kept on well in the closing stages to record a half length success at odds of 8/1. Anonymous Lady finished well to grab the runner-up spot ahead of Battleroftheboyne
The Andy Slattery-trained winner was recording his third career victory. His previous two coming at Dundalk.
“I had two in it and didn't know which to fancy,” said Slattery.
“He was very unlucky in Dundalk last time when he got stuck in the stalls. Chris Hayes said he would have been second.
“He was rated 93 as a two-year-old so he was entitled to do that. He's a good genuine honest horse and he stays six furlongs.
“He likes it when he's let roll and he goes on any ground. Hopefully we can get into a premier handicap with him. The Paddy Power over six-and-a-half would suit but he has a bit to go at the weights.”
