Review tipperary 25th May

< Zamira (2-1 fav) was all heart when making every yard of the running in the feature race at Tipperary, the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Handicap.

Billy Lee was quick to send his mount to the front but despite building up a big lead out the back, the recent Roscommon maiden winner looked in trouble when any number of rivals loomed up at the furlong pole.

However, Lee still had a little bit left in the tank and Zamira pulled out more to see off Nanabad by half a length.< Murillo (7-4) left behind a modest debut offering when coming out on top in the opening Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden.

Aidan O'Brien's son of Scat Daddy cut little ice on his Curragh introduction but was much more streetwise here, travelling powerfully in behind Wolfofbaggotstreet before picking off the market leader with a strong run inside the final furlong to oblige by three lengths.

O'Brien completed a quickfire double when the heavily-backed Wisconsin (4-9 fav) cosily landed the Irish Stallions EBF Maiden by three quarters of a length.

Ana O'Brien was happy to bide her time as Lucknow cut out the early running but this offspring of the great Peeping Fawn looks a strong stayer and was sent to the front as they hit the home straight, putting the race to bed before readily holding off the late rattle of Steel Prince who ran a race full of promise.

Attention turned to the jumpers in the TipperaryRaces.ie Maiden Hurdle and Tay Lane (33-1) sprang a massive shock when routing favourite Lettre de Cachet by 20 lengths.

The Buy Tickets Online At Tipperaryraces.ie Handicap Hurdle wasn't won quite as easily but 6-1 scorer Petuna still had three and three quarters of a length to spare over Hareth as she passed the finishing line.
