Generation back in business at the Curragh

Sat 25th Jun 2011, 17:20

So impressive when winning a handicap over the course last month and since fifth in a Listed event at Leopardstown, Future Generation got back on the winning trail in the Barrettstown Cannonball Run European Breeders Fund Summer Fillies Handicap at the Curragh under Keagan Latham.

Ger Lyons' daughter of Hurricane Run was always on the pace, leading before halfway before being headed over two furlongs out. However she rallied inside the final furlong to lead in the final hundred yards, getting the better of Simla Sunset by a head.

Lyons said of the Viking Syndicate-owned three-year-old: "It was a hard ask against older horses last time. We learned a good bit from that though and this was always on the agenda if the handicapper gave us a chance. This was too big a pot to pass up.

"We intended to jump out and make all and they put it up to her and she fought back. She is a lovely filly, she's done nothing but progress and the only thing we weren't sure about was the ground.

"She's in the Brownstown Stakes at Fairyhouse on Wednesday and if she's okay we'll take a pot at that. From now on we'll try to get black-type as it is an owner/breeder set-up." Radharcnafarraige was reported to have never travelled by her rider Kevin Manning and Colm O'Donoghue said Dash Back hung right in the straight.
