Review curragh 25th Sep David Livingston improved Aidan O'Brien's impressive record in the Juddmonte Beresford Stakes at the Curragh as he led all the way in testing conditions.Seamie Heffernan kicked into a healthy advantage in the straight and the only one able to throw down a challenge from the chasing pack was the odds-on favourite Akeed Mofeed.Johnny Murtagh's mount got into a barging match before cutting into the lead, but the line came in time for David Livingston and the 7-2 shot landed the Group Two prize by half a length.O'Brien's newcomer Nephrite (6-1) looked a potentially smart youngster as he scored an emphatic victory in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden in the hands of the trainer's son Joseph.The son of Pivotal travelled sweetly all the way and led a furlong out to score by four lengths, with JP McManus's gambled-on favourite Bird's Eye View getting going too late in third spot.The jockey rode a third Ballydoyle winner when Harrison's Cave (5-1) led a furlong and a half out and forged two lengths clear in the Free Admission Curragh Races 9th October Maiden.It was tough for the juvenile fillies in the CL Weld Park Stakes and after a three-way battle of attrition through the final furlong of the Group Three contest, Coral Wave just got home.Patrick Prendergast's 4-1 shot eased into to lead in the final quarter-mile under Declan McDonogh, but long-time leader Homecoming Queen fought back and there was only a neck in it, with Princess Sinead also on the premises.The David Nagle-trained Maarek (15-2), third in the Ayr Silver Cup last time, stayed on late under Wayne Lordan to collar British raider Murura for a length victory in the Irish Stallion Farms Joe McGrath EBF Handicap.It was much tighter in the Irish Pony Club Raceday Trophy, in which the Tony Mullins-trained Rock And Roll Kid (Danny Mullins, 9-4 favourite) foiled Bay Knight's attempt to lead all the way by a short head.
