Easter parade for Aidan O’Brien

Easter, ridden by Seamus Heffernan, captured the listed Hurry Harriet Stakes in Gowran Park last night, completing a double for Aidan O’Brien.

Consistent in stakes company in recent starts, the blinkered Galileo filly hit the front before the furlong-pole and kept on strongly to beat Stellra Glow by two lengths with My Titania in third.

Aidan O’Brien commented: “She ran over a mile and a half in Cork the last day and was coming to win but got tired so the shorter trip today suited her. I’d say a mile and a quarter is probably her perfect trip.
