Zorion bolts up en route to better things
Debutant Zorion impressed for Jim Bolger and Kevin Manning when bolting-up in the opening maiden while the Ger Lyons-trained Sweet Sounds, a smooth winner on her debut in Tipperary, followed up when landing the Irish Stallion Farms 2-Y-0 Auction Race in emphatic style.
Sent off 4/7 favourite (in the absence of Mack Attack), Zorion raced close to the pace in the opener and had to be shaken-up by Kevin Manning to edge ahead with a furlong and a half to race but, having taken time to hit top gear, forged clear impressively inside the final furlong to score by six and a half lengths from 50/1 shot Joy For Mary.
