Search For A Song | Racing Post
By Tom Frary
The sole 3-year-old in the line-up for Sunday’s G1 Comer Group Irish St Leger at The Curragh, Moyglare Stud’s Search For a Song (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) carted Chris Hayes throughout and led her rivals a merry dance for an emotive success. Anchored near the back early, the 10-1 shot refused to settle out wide and so her rider allowed her to move past the dawdling leaders and to the head of affairs at halfway. Clear in the straight, the homebred kept finding to stay out of reach and had 2 1/4 lengths to spare over Kew Gardens (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) at the line, with 1 1/2 lengths back to Southern France (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) in third.

Siyouni’s Sottsass Gets Out of Jail In the Niel

By Tom Frary
ParisLongchamp’s G2 Qatar Prix Niel has sometimes created difficulties for the headline acts and that was the case again on Sunday as Peter Brant’s Sottsass (Fr) (Siyouni {Fr}) needed a large slice of luck to get the job done. Trapped on the inner and desperately needing room in the straight, the June 2 G1 Prix du Jockey Club hero got it in time inside the final 100 metres to register a 1 1/4-length success from Mutamakina (GB) (Nathaniel {Ire}), with a short neck back to Mohawk (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) in third. “The plan was for the rail to open up, but he broke slowly and had nowhere to go,” trainer Jean-Claude Rouget explained. “In the end, it may well have been a blessing in disguise as he didn’t have a hard race. He’ll go to the Arc now a fresh horse who will improve.”

Pinatubo well clear in the National | Racing Post
By Tom Frary
Godolphin’s G2 Vintage S. winner Pinatubo (Ire) (Shamardal) put all doubt about whether he will be crowned champion 2-year-old aside with a brilliant performance in Sunday’s G1 Goffs Vincent O’Brien National S. at The Curragh. Settled two lengths off the early pace by William Buick, the 1-3 favourite went past the G2 Coventry S. winner Arizona (Ire) (No Nay Never) as if he was standing still approaching two out before turning into an equine maserati. Stretching away from him and the G3 Tyros S. and G2 Futurity S. scorer Armory (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) in memorable style, he had nine lengths to spare at the line over him, with Arizona a neck away in third. “He’s the best horse I’ve had as a 2-year-old, no doubt about it, and he’s exciting,” Charlie Appleby said. “I see no reason why he wouldn’t go for the Dewhurst, as he’s just had a piece of work there.”

Ryan Moore shows Love some love | Racing Post
By Tom Frary
Ballydoyle’s stellar Irish Champions weekend continued apace on Sunday as the G3 Silver Flash S. scorer Love (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) prevailed in The Curragh’s G1 Moyglare Stud S. Sent off at 6-1 after a disappointing fifth in the G2 Debutante S. over this course and distance Aug. 23, the chestnut enjoyed a smooth run throughout under Ryan Moore just off the pace and when sent to the front a furlong from home stayed on strongly to deny the 13-8 favourite Daahyeh (GB) (Bated Breath {GB}) by 3/4 of a length, with the same margin back to fellow Ballydoyle trainee So Wonderful (War Front) in third.

By Tom Frary
The moment her rivals opted to allow Star Catcher (GB) (Sea the Stars {Ire}) her own way in front at the start of Sunday’s G1 Qatar Prix Vermeille at ParisLongchamp, the game was almost as good as up for the rest and Frankie barely had to sweat to register a personal 16th top-level win of the season. Always happy on the lead as she had been when taking the G1 Irish Oaks at The Curragh July 20, Anthony Oppenheimer’s homebred kicked in the straight and had 3/4 of a length to spare over Musis Amica (Ire) (Dawn Approach {Ire}), with a length back to another Fabre-trained 4-year-old in Ligne d’Or (GB) (Dansili {GB}) in third.

By Tom Frary
There had not been many dances that the Ballydoyle TDN Rising Stars Fairyland (Ire) (Kodiac {GB}) and So Perfect (Scat Daddy) had not had on their cards in 2019 and it all came together on Sunday as they dominated the finish of The Curragh’s G1 Derrinstown Stud Flying Five. In a tight finish, it was Evie Stockwell’s colour-bearer Fairyland who prevailed by a short head for Ryan Moore to add to her success in the 2018 G1 Cheveley Park S. Both had been at Haydock last Saturday for the G1 Sprint Cup and while things failed to happen for them there, the pair who shared a starting price of 12-1 raced near the solid early pace set here before having it between them from the furlong pole. In the event, it was Fairyland who had the extra ounce of speed and she toughed it out with the duo 1 1/2 lengths clear of Invincible Army (Ire) (Invincible Spirit {Ire}) in third. “In fairness to her, she’d probably never had the ground and trip in her favour all year, but it worked out today,” Moore said of Fairyland. “Aidan’s horses always come back and So Perfect ran huge as well. They ran their best races of the season today.”
