Review curragh 26th Sep

< Casamento confirmed his status as a colt with a big future as he took the Juddmonte Beresford Stakes at the Curragh in convincing style.

Pat Smullen sat in second for most of the way as Robin Hood led them along in the Group Two contest, and the response was not immediate when he asked Mick Halford's charge to go about his business in the straight.

But once Casamento hit the front a furlong out there was only ever going to be one winner and the 4-6 favourite pulled further clear the further they went, scoring by four lengths.

Halford also won with Hujaylea (13-2), who has struck up a good partnership with claimer Conor Hoban and followed up victories in two premier handicaps by taking the Whitney Moore Trophy, beating joint-favourite Luisant by half a length.< Chrysanthemum (7-2) kept her unbeaten record intact as she came out best in a thrilling finish to the CL Weld Park Stakes in the hands of Wayne Lordan.< Bible Belt struck the front in the final furlong, but both Chrysanthemum and favourite Wild Wind had made significant progress from the rear to get into contention and they collared her in the dying strides. David Wachman's filly won by two heads.

The trainer also won with Stage Master (16-1), who left his poor debut run behind when sticking on well for Colm O'Donoghue to keep Rose Bonheur at bay by a short head in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden.

O'Donoghue completed his own double when Bright Horizon (14-1) romped away with the Hacketts Bookmakers Irish Cesarewitch for the Aidan O'Brien yard.

The three-year-old was travelling well as they turned for home but needed a gap to appear on the rails, and as soon as it did he burst through and powered clear to win by five and a half lengths.

Liam McAteer's Thats A Fret (20-1) followed up a course-and-distance victory in July by landing a big pot in the Irish Stallion Farms Joe McGrath EBF Handicap in the hands of Niall McCullagh.
