LANTERN FLOORS MOYGLARE RIVALS.

Richard Hannon landed the big prize at the Curragh as Sky Lantern put her rivals to the sword in the Group One Moyglare Stud Stakes.

The grey, runner-up in the Sweet Solera at Newmarket and the Prestige at Goodwood on her last two starts, travelled in mid-division for Richard Hughes and came to challenge inside the two-furlong pole.

The 7-1 shot produced a very smart turn of foot to put the race to bed and ran on strongly to beat outsider Scintillula by two and a half lengths, with the favourite Harasiya in third spot after holding every chance.
ANOTHER FAMOUS VICTORY FOR NAME.

Famous Name registered the 20th victory of his now legendary career with a cosy success in the Refuse To Bend Solonaway Stakes at the Curragh

Rousted along to lead a furlong out by Pat Smullen, Dermot Weld's admirable seven-year-old shrugged off One Spirit to score by two and three-quarter lengths, with Aloof in third.
UP SURGE LANDS BLANDFORD.

Quote:
Up snatched victory from Caponata in the dying strides of the Irresistible Jewel Blandford Stakes at the Curragh to deny the Dermot Weld team a quick double following the victory of Famous Name.

Manieree made a brave effort to repeat last year's victory in this Group Two contest and led until inside the final furlong, where Caponata ranged menacingly alongside before taking over.
