Trainer Andrew Slattery has his string in excellent form at present and, Bint Majestic Roi provided the Tipperary man with another winner when landing the Final Furlong Podcast With 1xBet.ie Handicap at the Curragh.

Fourth over course and distance on her reappearance earlier this month, the four-year-old came forward from that run to score here.

Prominent on the stands side from the off, the 6/1 chance led a furlong out under Andrew Slattery, keeping on strongly to win by two-and-a-quarter lengths for owner William Anthony Slattery.

“She was bred to be a mile-and-a-quarter filly and we were training her that way,” said Slattery.

“Then we started working her this year and she was leading a few horses. Suddenly they couldn’t get to her so we said ‘maybe this one is a sprinter’.

“We bought her for six grand last year in the Newmarket sales. She has a good pedigree, she’s by Ghaiyyath and it’s all stamina. The dam is a half-sister to Hi Riyal, who was second in a Guineas.

“We’ll keep tipping away and see where she ends up. We own her ourselves, she runs in my nephew William’s colours.

“If someone comes for her we’ll never refuse money!”
