Jessica Harrington saddled a brace of maiden winners at Roscommon last night and gave an update on her stable star Hotazhell.

The Too Darn Hot colt, a Group 1 winner at two and third in the Irish 2,000 Guineas in May, was a never-nearer fourth when sent off favourite for the Saratoga Derby over an extended nine furlongs on his latest start on August 2nd.

“He came out of the race brilliantly,” said Harrington.

“We’re not certain yet where he goes next, either the Irish Champion Stakes or Longchamp.”
