Michael Hussey had a day to remember at Leopardstown today, adding to his feature race success on Craftsman when partnering Adelaide to victory in the mile maiden.

The newcomer by Galileo looked a smart prospect as he quickened up to claim Fiscal Focus inside the final furlong and went away in the closing stages for a two-and-a-half length win.

His Ballydoyle stable-mate Gypsy King was sent off the 4/5 favourite but was well held in third.

“He's a nice horse. He switched off well and quickened up well when I asked him,” said Hussey.

“He loved the ground and will be a nice staying horse next year.”
