Uomo eyes Listed prize after Curragh win

Primo Uomo is set to try his hand in Listed company after his success in the Irish Times Handicap at the Curragh today.

Ger O'Leary 's charge came with a well timed run, under Niall McCullagh to grab the spoils in the closing stages of the five furlong contest by half a length at odds of 5/1.

The gelding, who was recording his third career victory, will step up in grade now at Dundalk in a couple of weeks.

“He's consistent and great fun,” said O'Leary.

“He's out in the paddock full-time and loves being out. He was a bit anxious in a stable and was weaving a bit and being overactive.

“He's turned a corner completely since we turned him out.

“We'll probably look at Dundalk in two weeks time at the Listed Mercury Stakes over five furlongs.”
