Review gowran park 10th Aug
< Bible Belt turned Gowran Park's Listed Irish Stallion Farms EBF Hurry Harriet Stakes into something of a procession.
A handicap winner at Leopardstown last month month, Jessica Harrington's daughter of Big Bad Bob handled the step up in class in no uncertain terms.
Settled towards the rear of the field by Shane Foley, the 11-2 shot cruised past long-time leader Hurricane Havoc over a furlong out and scooted clear on the run up to the line before being eased down for a five-length success.
Aidan O'Brien's Daddy Longlegs, a son of Scat Daddy, came from the clouds to make a winning debut at odds of 7-1 in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden.< Outback tried to give the field the slip entering the home straight, and it looked like the move may have payed off, but Joseph O'Brien's mount really started to motor inside the final furlong.
He swept past with around 150 yards to travel, ultimately winning with a length and a half to spare.
Keagan Latham gave 13-2 chance Greek Canyon an enterprising ride to win the Rooftop Restaurant At Gowran Park Nursery.
The Ger Lyons-trained top weight, third off the same mark on his handicap bow at the Curragh last month, bagged the far rail and stayed on powerfully to beat Jimtown by half a length.
Jim Bolger's ultra-game Priomhbhean bounced back to form with a really likeable performance in the McEnery Cup Handicap.
Kevin Manning was gifted an easy lead on the 7-1 chance, pulling all of 20 lengths clear at the halfway stage in the 12-furlong contest, but the filly looked a sitting duck as Steps To Freedom loomed alongside passing the furlong market.
However, Priomhbhean found extra once tackled and held the market leader half a length at bay.
