Review fairyhouse 16th Jun
< Orangey Red wore down long-time leader Music Box to land the Club Or Charity Fundraisers At Fairyhouse Enquire Today Fillies Race.
Ana O'Brien was allowed an uncontested lead on 5-2 joint-favourite Music Box and she seemed the most likely winner when kicking a couple of lengths clear inside the final quarter-mile.
But Pat Smullen wouldn't give up on the Bill Farrell-trained Orangey Red (100-30), who really dug deep to get her head in front in the dying strides, and she supplemented her recent Listowel success by half a length.
Not many Jim Bolger debutants go off at 20-1, particularly with Kevin Manning on board, but Sometimesadiamond made a mockery of those odds in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Maiden.
The daughter of Vocalised outfought favourite Butterscotch after a duel through the final couple of furlongs to register a half-length verdict.
Bolger's Fountain came from the rear to claim top honours in the Paul Kelly Veterinary Clinic, Lets Go Grand Winner Handicap.
The 6-1 chance sprouted wings in the final furlong, storming down the outside to deny The Eyes Have It by a couple of lengths.< Low Latency was a beaten favourite on his return to action but the application of a tongue-tie did the trick in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden.
The 6-1 chance took the lead off Silk Cravat a furlong and a half out and kept going under Leigh Roche to beat Shinko Princess by two and three-quarter lengths.< Guiding Star (9-1) shed her maiden tag at the 12th attempt in the Summer Family Fun Day At Fairyhouse July 23rd Handicap (Div 1), with the second division going to 25-1 shot Nothing To Lose < Thunder Crash (100-30) made favourite-backers sweat on his first venture outside of maiden company but he eventually knuckled down in the Friday Night Racing At Fairyhouse Handicap and pipped Steelyeyed on the line.
