Re: Horse Racing
Marengo wins Ballysax battle.

Quote:
Battle Of Marengo laid down an early marker for the Investec Derby with a determined triumph in the PW McGrath Memorial Ballysax Stakes at Leopardstown.
A winner of three of his four starts as a juvenile including the Beresford Stakes, the Aidan O'Brien-trained 8-13 favourite moved well for the first half of the 10-furlong journey, but was being pushed along from the home turn by the handler's son Joseph.
For a moment it appeared Sugar Boy would make a real race of it, but once O'Brien picked up his whip, Battle Of Marengo went about his business in fine style, soon asserting to score decisively by a length and three-quarters.
