The weekend at the Curragh

Henry Longfellow takes next step up

That was done in the Coolmore Stud Wooton Basset, although in Henry Longfelllow's case his sire was Dubawi, not Wooton B.  He won by 2 lengths from Islandsinthestream but since there were only 5 horses in the race seemed more like a trial than a Group race.

The Alpha Centauri went to Vespertilio on 4/1 from Sakti on 8/1 and -cue drum roll – our roughie Kalispera third and she went off at 80/1!!

Sunday the St Leger trial G3 over 2800m went to Shamida 5/4 and only four runners in the race so one just for the record.
