Annagh Haven scores under Leigh Roche

Annagh Haven battled on gamely to land the spoils in the 100 Years Racing Handicap at Gowran Park.
Leigh Roche moved up smoothly to challenge turning for home in the mile-and-a-half contest on the daughter of Indian Haven.
The Michael Mulvany trained filly had to work hard to wear down front-runner Teochrios inside the final furlong, however, for a three-parts-of-a-length success.
4/1 favourite Shutter Island failed to quicken early in the straight before staying on, despite traffic problems, to take third on line.
Annagh Haven (11/2) was gaining a deserved success having been runner-up on her previous two outings.
“She's been second a few times but it's not that she's un-genuine,” said Mulvany.
“She probably wants a give in the ground. We'll think about going back over hurdles and she could run in the Lartigue at Listowel if she got in off a low weight.”
