Five wins on the spin for likeable Kastasa 6/4 favourite Kastasa took the featured Irish EBF Vintage Tipple Stakes (Listed) on her seasonal reappearance. The Rock Of Gibraltar filly, who won her last four starts in 2019, carried her Group 3 penalty to success as Oisin Orr produced her to lead down the stands’ side to with less than 2f to race. She kept on to beat Monday’s Ballinrobe maiden winner Nan Yehi by three quarters of a length, with Traisha a further length back in third. Six wins from eight starts is now the career record of the likeable Aga Khan-owned winner. Winning trainer Dermot Weld said: "It was her first run back. She had a very busy and highly successful year last year and the plan had always been to start her today. “She'll go for the Stanerra, in about three weeks time, a Group 3 at Naas. “The race wasn't really run to suit her there but class is class. She'll improve from that run too. “Horses like her usually don't win impressively or by big distances but they keep winning. “The Irish Leger could be quite possible for her long-term.” Additional reporting by Gary Carson
