Physique made all under Seamus Heffernan to give Micky Fenton the third and most significant winner of his training career in the £110,000 Irish Stallion Farms EBF Ahonoora Handicap on the final day of the 2024 Galway festival.

The 9-1 shot forced the pace and, when tackled by last year’s winner Dunum turning in, dug deep for Heffernan to prevail by a half-length from fast-finishing Hurricane Ivor, with Dunum a similar distance away in third.
