Halford mulls Curragh options

MICK Halford will wait to see what ground conditions are like before deciding which of his two representatives will run in the Goffs Flying Five Stakes at the Curragh on Sunday.

The County Kildare handler could run Curragh regular Snaefell, winner of the Phoenix Sprint Stakes on his last visit, or the prolific mare Invincible Ash, winner of her last three races.

While Halford’s pair are two of the best sprinters in Ireland, 17 of the 24 entries hail from England.
