Red Earth makes winning debut under Heffernan The Fozzy Stack trained newcomer Red Earth finished strongly under Seamie Heffernan to make a winning debut in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden at Naas. Sent off 14/1, the No Nay Never colt tracked the leaders on the stands side, as Whatchadoin and Subiaco led the way. Ridden to go fourth over a furlong out, Red Earth came through to lead over 150 yards from home. Strongly pressed by Krasimir close home, the eventual winner kept on well to score by a neck. “He’s been going nicely at home,” said Stack. “The two colts (Cantillever; finished 10th) have been working away together, I’d say the other fella is a bit green. “He’s in the Goffs Million and we’ll probably go somewhere in between now and then. “The draw was probably an advantage but the second had a good run previously.” Additional reporting by Gary Carson.
