Lady Ultra tops off Lavery's weekend A valuable nursery at the Curragh isn’t a bad race to have your first training success in, and that’s exactly what Sheila Lavery did with Lady Ultra (9/4). The filly, sporting a hood, made all over six furlongs with Rory Cleary in the plate and was never headed in coming home three and a half lengths clear of Candy Apples (5/2). Fly To The Moon was all the rage with punters, as she was 3/1 this morning and 7/4 on opening show before being returned at 5/4 favourite. She didn’t get competitive in third, a short head out of second. Sheila Lavery said: “That caps off a fantastic weekend [owns Viztoria who was trained by Eddie Lynam to win the Group 2 Park Stakes at the Curragh yesterday]. “She’s always shown speed, but was just a bit hot. Will Hayes has done a great job in the stalls with her. “We have lots of the family. I mustn’t be good at selling as like Viztoria she went to the sales and didn’t sell. We may look at a campaign at Dundalk as she likes top of the ground.” Lavery trains in Summerhill, Co Meath. Additional reporting by Alan Magee
