Tapioca tough as she breaks duck Tapioca proved a tough customer in the 1m4f handicap at Dundalk as she fought doggedly to land the spoils. The Michael Halford-trained filly duelled it out with Princess Lomi from over a furlong out and got on top in the closing stages under Shane Foley. "She stuck at it well. They went fast early and she struggles to hold a place but stays well," said Halford. "Shane gave her a good ride as she was last down the back straight. She's in foal to Verglas and that probably helped. I'm glad to get a bracket with her. "She wants decent ground and we'll aim her at another handicap somewhere."
