Our Lucky Lady justifies favouritism in Limerick nightcap

The Paul Fahey trained Our Lucky Lady followed up her recent success at Down Royal when defying a 12lb rise to land the concluding Racing Again On June 19th Handicap at Limerick.

Sent off 15/8f under Jessica O'Gorman, the Loose Chippings Syndicate owned filly tracked the leaders for the first mile, before coming through to lead over seven-furlongs from the finish.

Kicking on into the home straight, O'Gorman kept enough up her sleeve to get the daughter of The Irish Rover home by one-and-a-quarter lengths from Mr Rango

Paul Fahey said: "She is quite keen at home and was very buzzy in the yard here, so she was very keen today. We had hoped to hold her up but in fairness to Jessica, she got hold of her going up the hill, which was important, as if you bolt going up a hill you're in bother.

"My daughter Emma is marrying Daniel in Athy on Friday and, some time ago, I said we'd better get something towards the cost of the wedding. We got this filly to win the last day and Emma said to run her again, so this will help towards some part of it!"
