Sky is the limit as Jet flies for five-star success

ED McMahon is targeting some of the big sprint prizes with Astrophysical Jet next season after her triumph in the Goffs Flying Five Stakes at the Curragh yesterday.

The Dubawi filly began the year as a possible Classic contender but after appearing unlikely to get a mile, McMahon opted to drop back in trip and his decision paid off with a Group Three victory here.

Sent off a 9-2 chance, Astrophysical Jet was settled in mid- division by Graham Gibbons before making smooth progress under a furlong and a half out.
