Down in class Fracas gets vote

FRACAS, down in class, gets the vote to win a less than inspiring Listed Gallo Family Vineyards Silver Stakes at the Curragh this evening.

Certainly, David Wachman’s colt should find this a lot easier than the previous assignment he was asked to tackle, the Group 1 Tattersalls Gold Cup on this track.

The five-year-old was far from disgraced in finishing fifth of nine, beaten a little over six lengths. Fracas made a lot of the running then and it was no surprise he began to fade when the big guns, Notnowcato and Dylan Thomas, began to race in earnest.
