O'Callaghan gains first success for Dubai owner Al Falasi Sagasti was a rare big-priced 28/1 winner for six-time champion jockey Colin Keane in Roscommon’s WTW Willis Handicap over an extended seven furlongs. Although unsuccessful in eight previous starts, the daughter of Supremacy had been placed in three of those runs and today made much of the running to score by 1.5 lengths from Cool Azul . Winning trainer Michael O'Callaghan commented “I’m delighted to get her head in front as she’s been a little frustrating. We’ve done plenty of work with her at home, and Colin decided he was going to make her mind up for her from the gates today. He said she was still saving a little bit in front. Hopefully it gives her confidence now. “We think she has a bit of ability, she had a light weight today but won well and it looked a competitive race on paper. “It’s an important winner as it’s the first horse we’ve had for her owner Khalifa Bin Obood Al Falasi, from Dubai, who joined us over the winter and he’ll be thrilled. I’m delighted for him because he’s been such a pleasure to train for, with a filly who has been a little bit frustrating. He deserves it very much.” Quotes from Gary Carson
