Fairy swoops late to land the spoils

JOHN OXX, who was on the mark with Kastoria at York yesterday, completed a Listed-race double when Fairy Of The Night landed the Fairy Bridge Stakes at Tipperary last night.

“She did serious damage to her heel when scoring at Gowran Park and it is great she has won this”, said Jimmy O'Neill, assistant to Oxx.

The remarkable Homegrown, who has shot up the weights in handicaps and was badly treated by the conditions here, looked the likely winner early in the straight.
