Dermot Weld and Pat Smullen combined to steal the show with a treble last night at Tipperary, headed by Tested’s second consecutive success in the Group 3 Coolmore Stud Fairy Bridge Stakes.

Tested delivers in great style in Group 3 Coolmore Stud Fairy Bridge Stakes

The well-backed 11-8 favourite missed the kick but was rushed up to take a prominent position. She settled well for Smullen, could be called a winner a long way out, and duly quickened up to win with plenty to spare, with the ultra-consistent Military Angel getting up late to take the runner-up spot.

Said Kris Weld: “We felt if she reproduced her win in the race last year, that would be good enough, and she has won nicely. The ground was a little slower than ideal for her, but you’d have to be pleased the way she got the job done. She’s a very classy filly, and certainly seems to prefer Tipperary to Ballybrit.”
