Stafford's filly scores first success Are You In Or Out (5/1) gained a maiden success at her 18th attempt at Leopardstown today, as the Paul Stafford-trained filly won the Bulmers Live At Leopardstown Handicap under jockey Chris Hayes. The daughter of Inns Of Court had finished second twice in 2024 and in today’s race raced prominently and held on to score by a half-length from Browned Off, with unlucky in-running Deuteronomy — which finished third, running short of room and being checked in the closing stages. Afterwards jockey Hayes said “I got a lovely run, they didn’t go much of a gallop and the split came. Ground-wise that’s as quick as she’d want it. “She was threatening to do that, she had two nice seconds last year but didn’t handle the polytrack (at Dundalk). I’m glad it worked out, they listened to me and gave her a break so it was ideal.” Quotes from Gary Carson
