CARRYING the colours of Mrs Anne Coughlan, best known for the exploits of champion filly Ridgewood Pearl back in 1995, the Dermot Weld trained Treasure The Cross made all to land the opening Irish Stallion Farms Fillies Maiden at Wexford last night.

MICK Kinane, John Oxx and Johnny Murtagh, three men with the Epsom Derby firmly on their minds, shared the honours at Fairyhouse last night.

Trainer John Oxx, who leaves this morning for New York where he'll saddle Azamour for the Breeders Cup Turf at Belmont on Saturday, received a timely boost at the Curragh yesterday when Lifetime Romance, Artist's Muse and Redstone Dancer provided him with a treble.

THE husband and wife team of Pat Smullen and Frances Crowley combined to take the Irish Stallion Farms’ EBF Race with Kay Two at a soaking wet Tipperary last night.
