Happy Pharoah loving life in Leopardstown Happy Pharoah marked himself out as a progressive sort when landing the rated race over an extended mile-and-a-half in Leopardstown. Paddy Harnett tracked Fervent and Seamie Heffernan, and took over from them on the home bend. The new leader began to stretch his rivals at the furlong marker and stayed going to post a healthy three-and-a-quarter-length success at 7/2 from 13/2 chance Floresta. Donnacha O'Brien said: “He’s a big horse with a good pedigree and he seems to be improving with every start. “Paddy have him a lovely ride. It looked to be fairly tight on ratings but he seems to be improving. “He could be a Stakes horse. There is a nice mile-six three-year-old Listed race back here in a few weeks time and we might have a look at that.” Happy Pharoah followed up on a course and distance maiden success in June.
