Maharib earns possible Leger tilt

Maharib completed a hat-trick and earned a possible crack at the English St Leger when proving too good for the favourite Arundel in a keen duel in the IAWS Curragh Cup today.

Successful against older horses over a mile-and-a-half at Limerick on his most recent start, Maharib travelled strongly throughout the race for jockey Pat Smullen.
