Recharge gets head in front

Thu 10th Jun 2010, 19:56

Recharge gained a deserved success when claiming the Listed Glencairn Stakes, giving Kevin Prendergast a double on the card at Leopardstown.

Lady O'Reilly's colt, who has finished runner-up to Fame And Glory on his last two starts, got his head in front this time.

Chris Hayes got a gap on the rail a furlong from home and his mount soon hit the front.

He stayed on well in the closing stages to post a length success over Croisultan

"I'm going to bring him for a Group One in Paris over a mile-and-a-quarter in two weeks time," said Prendergast.

"He was entitled to win that. He's been Group One placed a few times and has won a couple of Group Threes.

"He's progressing all the time and is not over-raced. That's just his ninth run. We could step him up to a mile-and-a-half eventually."

Prendergast had also struck earlier with two-year-old newcomer Dunboyne Express
