Well touted George Washington is less than impressive

GEORGE WASHINGTON, widely touted as one of the better juveniles in Ballydoyle, won the Group Two Anheuser Busch Adventure Parks Railway Stakes at the Curragh yesterday, but was certainly less than impressive.

Kieren Fallon had to get decidedly serious with him in the closing stages to beat stable companion, Amigoni.

Seamus Heffernan’s mount tried to make all, but George Washington finally mastered him, after Fallon had to render one powerful back-hander, in the closing stages.
