Review fairyhouse 30th Jun
< Berg Bahn (14-1) returned to prominence in the Group Three Irish Stallion Farms EBF Brownstown Stakes at Fairyhouse.
Stepped up in class and seeking her first win since a debut triumph over the course and distance last September, Ger Lyons' Sandringham also-ran left it late under Keagan Latham.< Miss Gorica led for most of the seven-furlong journey but ultimately had to settle for third after the winner and 25-1 shot Velvet Flicker swept by close home.
Bryan Smart's Distinctive stayed on for fourth but fellow British raider and 5-4 favourite Sent From Heaven never featured.
The Irish Stallion Farms EBF Median Auction Maiden resulted in a dead-heat for first between newcomer Zabaleta (7-2) and 5-2 joint-favourite Isis Song
Ken Condon's Zabaleta, ridden by Declan McDonogh, bagged the rail early and had them on the stretch but Isis Song angled out for a run approaching the furlong marker.
The leader started to tire and they flashed past the post together, leaving the judge unable to seperate them.
A high draw proved essential in the Moulden Bridge Handicap and nothing could get to All In Clover after Shane Foley sent him straight to the front from stall 18.
David Marnane's 9-2 chance was given a breather on the home turn and, after scooting clear two furlongs out, he went on to hold Trotting Weasel by a length and three quarters, with By The Sea and Foxillian filling the minor placings.
Marnane and Foley doubled up through Spirit Of Xaar who belied odds of 12-1 in the Pubs Of Trim Handicap.
The four-year-old gelding burst through inside the final furlong to beat Anan Chara by one and three-quarter lengths.
The Mill Tree Park Handicap went to Maybe Grace trained by Jessica Harrington and ridden by Wayne Lordan.
