Wyman sprouts wings late on Wyman flew home in the closing stages to land the McGuinness Maintenance Irish EBF Maiden at the Curragh for Jessica Harrington. The Australia colt raced mid-division in the ten furlong heat and looked to be making little impression when asked for an effort over two furlongs from home. Shane Foley switched his mount out over a furlong out though and he rattled home late on to get up and beat Numantia by a length-and-a-quarter. The 12/1 winner had been third on his return to action at Leopardstown in mid-April. Harrington said: "When he got going, he got going very, very well. He won snug in the end. “The plan was the Ulster Derby but the ground went on us. He needs good ground. The owners came over from America this morning.” Kate Harrington added: "He is named after Pearl's dad (owner). I'm not sure if he'll be a Galway horse. I'm not sure will he handle the ups and downs but we'll get home and regroup. “It was just special today because the owners made their way over. They couldn't come last weekend but they made It over this weekend." (Quotes by John O’Riordan)
