Leezie Lindsay emulates dam with Cork Oaks win

Like mother, like daughter at Curraheen Park on Saturday night as Leezie Lindsay emulated her dam, Smoke Pixie, by taking the final of the Pat Hennerty Sales Cork Oaks for Francie Murray and owner Howard Wallace.

The 3-1 chance is better over further than the 525 yards of this race, and didn’t do her chance and help when leaving traps awkwardly. Last on the approach to the bend, she moved into third place as some of the leading bunch bumped.

Showing off her backstraight pace, she quickened up along the inside rail to lead at halfway, and ran on well to beat the staying-on Phone Lizzie by a length and a half, in a very smart 28.28, with Happy Endings in third.
