Citronnade sparkles to complete 151/1 double for Harrington & Foley Citronnade (7/1) was in the front rank throughout before seeing out the trip really well to win the Eventus Handicap in the hands of Shane Foley. The handicap debutante, a maiden winner last time having lost first place in the stewards’ room on her penultimate outing, was able to go along at a fairly sedate gallop before being asked for more entering the final quarter mile. Kirsten Rausing’s homebred was pursued all the way up the straight by Port Sunlight (4/1) but was always holding that one’s challenge as she scored by three quarters of a length. Razdan (11/2), who had been held up towards rear, met trouble in running when the pace quickened before running on to take third spot. After Maud Gonne Spirit earlier, Citronnade was completing a 151/1 double for Foley and winning trainer Jessica Harrington. The winning rider commented: "She is a grand mare, wears her heart on her sleeve and tries very, very hard. She was unfortunate to lose the race at the Curragh, it was partly my fault and she was good in Killarney. "I thought she'd appreciate the track and when the rain came it was all the better. She stays and will have no problem getting two miles. "She's won off 85 and will get another little hike for that but there could be another handicap to be won on her way to looking for black-type."
