Blue Peak scores for Grassick & Sheehy

The second split of the seven-furlong handicap went, as did division one, to the market leader as Blue Peak recorded her second win of the campaign at odds of 16/5.

Trained by Michael Grassick, the daughter of Fascinating Rock was produced to lead inside the final furlong by Danny Sheehy and got the better of Breezy Zoff by a half a length.

The four-year-old had carried the colours of William Keeling when winning at Roscommon in May but was in different ownership on this occasion.

Grassick said: "That's the first winner I've trained for my cousin Cathy, so it was an important one. She got covered last weekend by New Bay, so she is going to Australia at the end of the year. Hopefully we will know on Monday whether she is in foal or not.

"She will probably have one more spin I'd say. There is another 7f handicap for her here at the end of the month."
