Haziyna bounces back in style

THE John Oxx trained Haziyna powered to an impressive victory in the featured Irish Stallion Farms E.B.F. Fllies Handicap at Navan yesterday.

Raised 15lb. for a seasonal debut win at Leopardstown but beaten at Dundalk last time, the Aga Khan-owned Halling filly quickened into the lead at the two-furlong pole before stretching clear under Ben Curtis to beat Night Glimmer by five and a half lengths.

“That was a bit clear-cut,” commented Oxx. “She just doesn’t like the polytrack. We learned that the last day and she won’t be going back to Dundalk.
