Pisiffik Ginger wins Leopardstown's opener Once-raced Pisiffik Ginger put her experience to good use in Leopardstown’s opening Irish EBF Median Sires Series Fillies Maiden today, defeating a field of newcomers to score for trainer Jessica Harrington, owner/breeder Sebastian Curran and jockey Shane Foley. Star Glory was a late withdrawal from the race having become upset in her stall, leaving Pisiffik Ginger (3/1fav, minus a 15 cent Rule 4 deduction) as the sole previously-raced runner and, in the end, made all to score a battling length success from Epilogue . Harrington commented “she did that great. I was a little bit worried about the ground but when he (Foley) got her out onto the better ground on this side of the straight, he said she picked up well. She stayed well. “She had a lovely run the first day; was just slowly away and a bit slow early on, and she sharpened up a lot today. We'll see where we go from here."  Quotes from John O’Riordan
