Mountain claims Curragh honours
Dual Derby-placed Eagle Mountain finally got off the mark for the season in the United Arab Emirates Royal Whip Stakes at the Curragh.
Kieren Fallon sent the 4-5 favourite into the lead from the pacesetting Decado two furlongs out and Aidan O’Brien’s charge kept on strongly to keep Alexander Tango at bay by two and a half lengths.
The Mick Channon-trained Championship Point was last of the four runners.
The winner was cut to 14-1 from 20-1 for the Ladbrokes St Leger with VC Bet.
