Stack on fire with Curragh treble
Zorija Rose continued the blistering start to the season by Tommy Stack when making all in the six-furlong handicap at the Curragh.
Billy Lee did the steering this time and kicked clear two furlongs from home to record a convincing three-length success over The Tooth Fairy
"She went a bit sore behind last year and we had to pull up with her," said Fozzy Stack afterwards.
"We were looking forward to dropping her back in trip as she got faster as she went along last year.
"She's back now and did it well. I thought she might be a bit tapped for toe early but she had no problem dictating in front.
"She loves soft ground and we'll keep her going. We'll try and get a bit of black type for her and I saw a six-and-a-half furlong Listed race in Germany for her.
"We'll pick and choose with her as she's fairly exposed being a five-year-old and rated 91."
It was a 571 to 1 treble for the Tipperary handler following the earlier successes of Blue Dahlia and High Award
