Glass gets up in Qatar one-two Ger Lyons was delighted to get a winner for Sheikh Fahad when Glass House claimed a big pot in the Tattersalls Ireland Super Auction Sale Stakes at the Curragh. Gary Carroll pounced late on the 12/1 shot who got up in the closing stages to pip another in the Qatar Racing colours, War Queen, by three-parts of a length. The winner was making just her second start having been third in a Navan maiden in July. Lyons also saddled 10/3 joint-favourite Reckless Endeavour, who finished eighth, while the other market leader Miss Elizabeth was ninth. "She's a very good filly. It was a hell of a performance from a little green filly," said Lyons. "There's not much of her. She needed a bit of luck and it takes a good one to win from that draw. She was last out of the stalls. "I like the colt a lot but he's been plagued with sore shins and blew up after two furlongs. "I told the lads to help each other out and come in a straight line and track each other. "That's something for Sheikh Fahad who handled yesterday's commotion very well. He took it like a man and got on a plane to come over here and make a presentation in the Champion Stakes. "If anyone deserves a winner this weekend it's him."
