Review fairyhouse 29th Jun
< Emulous successfully conceded weight to nine rivals to pick up the third Group Three prize of her career in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Brownstown Stakes at Fairyhouse.
Dermot Weld's filly had beaten subsequent Royal Ascot heroine Lolly For Dolly on her previous outing, and she was sent off the 9-4 market leader to do the business again.
Settled in fourth, she made her challenge with just under a quarter of a mile to travel and quickly settled matters, with Claiomh Solais faring best of the rest, a length in arrears.< Bible Black still looked a touch raw but went some way to atoning for a costly Dundalk defeat in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Median Auction Maiden.
Johnny Murtagh dictated terms to suit himself on the 9-4 favourite and although he drifted left to finish closer to the stands rail, he still had four and a half lengths in hand of Ellell Duke at the line.
His trainer Ger Lyons followed up when Suspect Device (14-1) just held on in the Family Day Sunday 10th July Handicap.
The grey appeared likely to run away with the prize when Keagan Latham brought him with a sweeping move to lead approaching the furlong pole, but Bubbly Bellini battled on gamely and got to within a neck of the faltering victor.< Like Magic ran out a gutsy winner of the 5 Euro Summer Admission At Fairyhouse Handicap in the hands of Seamie Heffernan, who got his fractions right from the front.
The 12-1 shot kicked clear shortly after turning in and although Good To Follow went in pursuit, the chase was in vain because Like Magic had plenty in reserve and scored by a length and three-quarters.< Little Arrows (9 & ndash;2) got up in the dying strides to deny Aznavour in the jogforjockeys.ie Handicap, while his jockey Shane Foley added to that success on Why But Why in the 'Tote Trifecta Rollover' Handicap.
