The opening race this afternoon at The Curragh was won by the Kevin Prendergast trained Brazilian Spirit with Chris Hayes doing the steering for his retained owner Lady O'Reilly.

Kevin Prendergast said afterwards, "She got knocked down the last day but she ran a good race considering she was only beaten 6 lengths and got into terrible trouble. She'd probably be better over an extra furlong or 2f. I thought today might have been a shade short but she stays on well at the finish and we'll probably go for a conditions race if there is one for her."
