Persistence Pays Off for Greatwallofchina Greatwallofchina, a half-brother to Beauty Bright, and from the family of Chimes Of Freedom and Spinning World, made it eighth time lucky in the three-year-old maiden at Limerick. He contested Group 1 events, namely the Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere at Longchamp and the Dewhurst on his final two starts last term. He wasn´t disgraced on either occasion. After being a beaten favourite three times in his career, the son of Kingmambo set the record straight as the 5/4 market-leader here. Seamie Heffernan guided the Kingmambo colt to a comfortable three length win.
