Review leopardstown 5th Jul

The regally-bred Flying The Flag made a winning debut at Leopardstown when getting up late to land the Leopardstown.com Race.

Aidan O'Brien's 5-4 favourite looked in a spot of trouble at the furlong pole as jockey Joseph O'Brien was hard at work to reel in the front-running Einsteins Folly

The son of Galileo, out of triple Group 1 winner Halfway To Heaven, found another gear in the closing stages, though, reeling in the leader and scoring by three-quarters of a length.

Trainer Michael O'Callaghan gained his first winner in Ireland when Bogini justified favouritism with an accomplished display in the jogforjockeys.ie Fillies Race.< Flic Flac took up the running with a furlong to go, but O'Callaghan's 9-4 chance, already twice a winner for the handler in England, soon swept past under Fergal Lynch and went on to record a length and a quarter success.

O'Callaghan had further cause for celebration as his other runner, Khaos finished fast for third spot.< Reglisse produced an irresistible surge in the home straight to land the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Maiden for Edward Lynam.< Sharkayla made the first move, hitting the front just after the home turn, but once Shane Foley got the 4-1 chance into top gear, she proved far too strong, winning by three and a quarter lengths from Starbright who came from well off the pace to grab second.

Foley bagged a double when Little Arrows finished fast down the middle of the track to take the John Boyle Memorial Handicap.

Ken Condon's 9-1 chance was made to work all the way to the line by Valbucca but had a length and a quarter in hand at the line.< Kedleston (4-1) just got the better of Summer Knight to land the KILA Handicap for Tommy Stack and Wayne Lordan, while it was easier for John Egan on Salam Alaykum (11-2), who took the Cross Charity Handicap.
