Ezima records battling Saval Beg success

Ezima brought her haul of Listed race wins to three when staying on strongly in the closing stages to land the Seamus & Rosemary McGrath Memorial Saval Beg Stakes at Leopardstown this evening.

The daughter of Sadler´s Wells responded gamely for Kevin Manning in the straight to beat Hasanka by a length, and Jim Bolger is planning a Group 3 challenge also over this mile and three quarter distance at the Curragh next month.

´She will go for the Curragh Cup at the Derby weekend meeting. She´s a late developer who is getting it right now, and we´re also only getting the hang of her now.´
