Through Irish Eyes heads New Zealand-bred trifecta in VRC St Leger

NZRacingDesk

A truly run VRC St Leger (2800m) saw Through Irish Eyes (NZ) (Tavistock) wander off a true line over the concluding stages but it wasn’t enough to deny training partners Ciaron Maher and David Eustace or jockey Mark Zahra their first win in the Listed race. Through Irish Eyes emerged as the superior stayer in the 2800-metre feature for three-year-olds, the Tavistock gelding assisted by a strong tempo established by stablemate Silicon Valley (Americain), who increased the pace from halfway. Through Irish Eyes pounced on the leaders with 400m remaining…

Clotworthy had just bought the son of Rich Hill Stud resident stallion Shocking for $18,000 from the Grangewilliam Stud draft during the National Yearling sale Book 3 session at Karaka in 2019, when Emma gave her opinion on the purchase. “I like buying from Grangewilliam as they produce very genuine horses and…
