More two-year-old success for Murray

Adrian Murray kept up his great run of form with two-year-olds when 8/1 chance Lady Craftsman took the Irish EBF Median Sires Series Fillies Maiden.

Sent to the front inside the final quarter-mile by Robbie Colgan, the winner was still plenty green on this second start and jinked at the road crossing inside the final furlong before keeping on well to defeat Tartaraghan by three parts of a length.

Lady Craftsman had finished fifth to Chesham Stakes winner Snellen at Limerick last month.

Murray said: “She’d a good run the first day, and has improved a lot since, her work was very good at home. It was a good maiden the last day (in Limerick) and the form has worked out well since.

“We might go for a Listed fillies race next. She stays well and Robbie said she was doing everything very easy and a better race would suit her.”
