Review limerick 17th Jun
Ishebayorgrey and Wayne Lordan (inside) get the better of Markhan and Connor King

< Ishebayorgrey faced an uphill task based on official ratings in Limerick's Croom House Stud Rated Race but showed a great attitude to claim the spoils.
Pat Martin's four-year-old was just touched off in a Fairyhouse handicap on his previous outing and was sent off at 9-2 to go one better.
He swept to the front a furlong from the finish, only to be tackled by Markhan who looked the likely winner, but Wayne Lordan conjured one last effort out of Ishebayorgrey and he flashed past the post a head to the good.
There was confidence behind Ellery Lane prior to the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Median Auction Fillies Maiden, perhaps due in part to her Moyglare Stud Stakes entry, and she didn't disappoint.
After racing in fourth, a swift change of gear took the 6-4 favourite to the front just inside the final quarter-mile and she had enough in the tank to keep fellow newcomer Lost In Silence a length and a quarter at bay.< Darkyila (12-1) sprouted wings to claim top honours in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Maiden.< Sevilla made the running and appeared to have seen off all the challengers until the tank emptied in the final 100 yards, whereas Darkyila was only just hitting top gear and got up by half a length, with Remarkable Lady pipping Sevilla for second.< Almadaa (8-1) may be nine years old but he showed enough dash at the two-furlong marker in the Ballyduane Stud Claiming Race and the gap he established wasn't eroded in time, with runner-up Touch Of Frost only getting to within a length and a quarter at the line.
Sean Davis took a fall from Miss Ives in the race and, as a result, missed the winning ride on Total Demolition in the Grant Thornton Handicap.
The 4-1 chance defied a 5lb rise for last week's Leopardstown victory, with Ross Coakley bringing him down the outside to beat Catch Word by half a length.< Tempo Mac was a red-hot favourite for the Irishinjuredjockeys.com Apprentice Handicap but he was a never-nearer fourth behind Papal Motel (22-1).
