Lady lands tasty touch

CURRAGH handler John McConnell, whose horses are in fine shape, took his tally of winners for the year to 11 when Eurosmart Lady landed a touch in the Irish Stallion Farms’ EBF Maiden at Limerick yesterday.

The daughter of Kheleyf was a first two-year-old success for her trainer, having been backed as high as 9-1 in the morning and from 6-1 to 5’s on track.

Aidan O’Brien’s Coat Of Arms tried to make all, but had little left when Shane Foley produced Eurosmart Lady to edge ahead just inside the furlong pole.
