Confused collects as Harrington and Foley double up Market confidence in Confused proved well founded as he powered home in the closing stages to take the Quinnbet Maiden at Gowran Park. The Jessica Harrington-trained gelding had been fourth on his debut at Cork in April and was supported from 11/2 into 6/4 favourite this afternoon. Shane Foley came with a run on the inner inside the final furlong as the Calyx gelding asserted late on for a length-and-three-quarter win over Listentodwindblow. “He was good, he had a good run the last day and we thought he had come forward,” said Harrington. “Shane was just waiting, he wanted to go up the inside. “I was a bit worried about the ground beforehand but I rang Shane on my way down here, after the first race, and he said ‘no, it’s grand, if he can’t go on that he can’t go on anything’. “He quickened up well. It’s only his second run and he’s still very green. “I think it was a solid maiden. He said he got that well and he’ll end up going a mile-and-a-half, despite being by Calyx. “I don’t think he’d go on very soft ground. It’s nice to get his head in front, it’ll keep the (Alpha Racing) syndicate happy as they all have expectations unfortunately now! “He’s not man enough for a handicap yet so we’ll see where we go now.” Foley and Harrington had also teamed up with Thrifty Of Digby in the fillies handicap.
