Go Go Go Horserace: LILY FIRES In Ballyogan Stakes. Fire Lily ran out a rare winner for the house team in Leopardstown's Ballyogan Stakes on Thursday.
The six furlong cluster 3 contest has fallen to British raiders 5 times in eight years and there was a powerful raiding contingent all over again, 2 of whom took the sphere along at a good clip.
Wayne Lordan had fireplace Lily settled nicely on the rail within the slipstream in midfield as Swiss Dream and Inetrobil cut out the running and got a beautiful split to challenge between that try within the space.
David Wachman's charge found lots for pressure and will be known as the winner from the instant she hit the front though once did shut her down within the run to the road with Gossamer Seed finishing a one-two-three for Irish trainers.
Fire Lily was winning for the primary time this season having suddenly met QIPCO one thousand Guineas winner Homecoming Queen on her reappearance before finishing fifth within the French equivalent of that Classic.
Wachman said: "Wayne gave her a decent ride on the rail. She need to the front to a small degree soon however it had been simple enough.
"We'll keep her to 6 or seven furlongs. there is different those races for her."
The disappointment of the race was Lightening Pearl who hadn't run since the Newmarket Classic and was expected to be suited by the drop back in trip however, with rain falling, conditions went against her.
Her run, however, was aloof from being while not promise despite Ger Lyons' charge ultimately finishing well overwhelmed.
