Eagle soars to new heights

ALPINE EAGLE continued Jessica Harrington’s rich vein of form when slamming his two rivals in the featured €20,000 Irish Stallion Farms E.B.F.Race at Ballinrobe last night.

Backed down to 4/9 favouritism, the Colm O’Donoghue-partnered colt quickened past his two rivals with more than three furlongs to race and, soon in total command, was able to coast home a massive twenty-two lengths clear of runner-up Murtagh.

Winning trainer Harrington said: “That was kind of easy. He settled it in a matter of a few strides and is going the right way. I’m not sure where to go with him now.”
