Kisanga delights Weld in Curragh nightcap Kisanga wore down her rivals in the concluding mile and a quarter maiden at the Curragh to take the spoils for Dermot Weld and Declan McDonogh. The filly stepped up in trip from her eye-catching fourth on debut over seven furlongs in Naas. She was returned at 3/1 co favourite but was very popular in trading throughout the day as her price shortened from 6/1 to 13/8. She got to grips with National Security and National Wealth inside the final furlong and came in by a length. National Security (3/1 co favourite) took the runner-up berth ahead of National Wealth (6/1). Dermot Weld said: "She did what we thought she might do. “She's a lovely big mare and she battled well. It was a very good ride from Declan. I asked him just to let her down gradually on the ground and that's what he did. It was a good, positive ride. “It's fast ground out there and it's quick enough for any horse. “We're in no hurry with her, she's a big mare and we'll go gradually with her. It's just nice to win with her today. “She'd probably like a little bit more ease in the ground going forward and maybe another furlong.” Additional reporting by Gary Carson
