Review ballinrobe 28th May

< Mojita (evens) bounced back from a disappointing last start to claim a second career win in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF (Fillies) Race at Ballinrobe.

The Kevin Condon-trained daughter of Montjeu put in an uncharacteristic run when letting down favourite-backers at Navan earlier in the month but she set the record straight by making every yard in tenacious style.

Shane Foley guided the four-year-old to a three-and-three-quarter-length victory over Cloudracer who was second throughout.

The popular Beau Michael defied top-weight in the opening Ladies Day 26th June Handicap.

Adrian McGuinness' versatile gelding hadn't tasted success since taking a Grade Three novice chase at Tipperary in October 2010, but he was sent off a 13-2 chance under Ian Brennan.

Favourite Sounds Of Thunder made what looked like a race-winning move at the furlong pole but Beau Michael, who was making it three from three at the track, finished with a late flourish to take the prize by a length and a quarter.< Jimtown enjoyed a step up in trip when scoring in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Median Auction Maiden.

Placed on four of his 13 previous outings, Kevin Prendergast's 4-1 chance kicked on over a furlong out and went further clear up the straight.< Leyland made eye-catching headway to take second but the winner, ridden by Declan McDonogh, passed the post with four and a half lengths in hand.

The Mulholland Bookmakers Maiden Hurdle went to 3-1 favourite Lean Times partnered by Davy Russell.

Another winner on the night who was sent straight to the front, he had to fend off separate challenges from King Malik Lockdown and Easy Mate before going on to beat the fast-finishing Flaming Hymm by a length and a quarter.< Discoteca caused a minor upset when providing Russell with his second winner of the night in the Tipperary Water Hurdle.< Darroun was the odds-on favourite but Gordon Elliott's Discoteca (15-8) lowered his colours with a ready success.
