Symphony makes winning debut for Wachman

AS expected Cork was home to very few bookmakers yesterday and just eight of them were available to take on punters.

The featured Group 3 Irish Stallion Farms’ EBF Give Thanks Stakes went to David Wachman’s Pink Symphony, having a first outing for the trainer. The daughter of Montjeu is owned by Mrs Fitri Hay, who is involved in horses such as Fame And Glory and Cape Blanco.

Jamie Spencer is retained by her and was due to make the journey across for the ride. But Spencer was involved in that pile-up at Goodwood on Saturday, which may rule Ryan Moore out for the rest of the season, and didn’t travel.
