Tipperary report: Twilight Jet swoops late to conquer
Twilight Jet and Leigh Roche win the Irish EBF Median Sires Series Race in Tipperary.
A £210,000 (€243,235) breeze-up purchase in April, Twilight Jet swooped late to foil favourite Harmony Rose in the featured Irish EBF Media Sires Series 2-Y-0 Race in Tipperary, giving Curragh trainer Michael O’Callaghan his first success of the season.
Renewing Cork rivalry, Loveday blazed the trail before giving way to the favourite. But Leigh Roche, on Twilight Jet, had the two fillies in his sights and, easing his mount towards the stands rail, swept through to lead close home and win by a length.
