Tropical Lady can set record straight

TROPICAL LADY, desperately unlucky not to complete a spectacular six-timer at the Curragh last weekend, can set the record straight in the Group Three Desmond Stakes at Leopardstown tomorrow.

Michael Kinane replaced the injured Kevin Manning in the plate, but, unfortunately, found all the trouble that was going in the closing stages.

It was inside the final furlong before he managed to extricate the mare and, though she flew home, the damage was done and the front-running Solskjaer was still a head to the good at the line.
