Review curragh 29th Aug
< Misty For Me made all to land the Moyglare Stud Stakes at the Curragh for Aidan O'Brien as hot favourite Memory lost her unbeaten tag.
Seamus Heffernan had to keep the 10-1 shot well up to her work in the final furlong as Laughing Lashes put in a persistent challenge, but she held on by a length, with Kissable running on for third.
Richard Hannon's raider Memory, who came into the Group One race as favourite for the 1000 Guineas, was held up by Richard Hughes and found nothing when asked to get into the contest.< Obama Rule lost her maiden tag in eyecatching style in the Group Three Dance Design Stakes, in which crack mare Lush Lashes finished a respectable fourth on her return to the racecourse.
Joanna Morgan's filly (16-1) had plenty to do as they turned into the straight, but the gaps appeared up the rail and she took advantage, squeezing between Shareen and Miss Laa Di Da to score by a length under Declan McDonogh.< Dingle View was a surprise 22-1 winner of the Go And Go Round Tower Stakes in the hands of Cathy Gannon, who made the most of a draw near the rails on the David Evans-trained juvenile.
She led for just about all the Group Three event and kept the odds-on Glor Na Mara at bay by a head when he challenged hard throughout the final furlong.
There was a huge British contingent in the Group Three Goffs Flying Five Stakes and it was no surprise that one of them, Astrophysical Jet landed the prize.
Ed McMahon's 9-2 chance came with a strong run under Graham Gibbons to collar Tax Free before surging two lengths clear, with Santo Padre the best of the home team in third.
Promising claimer Conor Hoban rode a cool race on Mick Halford's Hujaylea (25-1) to take the Social Harmony EBF Irish Cambridgeshire, extricating himself from a pocket on the rails a furlong out before catching Kyllachy Star to win by a length and a quarter.
