Thomas Farrell has a small team in County Kildare and he set himself up for a weekend where he's represented by Carpet Elegance at Naas tomorrow, as the Tom Madden-partnered Seeking Truth landed division two of the Crowne Plaza Hotel Race & Stay Handicap at Dundalk.
Pace And Passion did Farrell proud winning three over flights in 2015, and here Seeking Truth was always to the fore and he got the best of the battle from Lily's Prince by half a length.
"He travelled really sweet but didn't do a whole lot when he got there. He rallied back very well when the other horse headed him," reported Madden.
The Moyglare Stud Farm-bred Seeking Truth was tonight getting off the mark at the nineteenth time of asking.
The Stewards enquired into possible interference inside the final furlong involving Lily's Prince, ridden by C.T. Keane, placed second and Seeking Truth, ridden by T.P. Madden, placed first.
Evidence was heard from the riders concerned. Having viewed the recording of the race and considered the evidence, the Stewards made no alteration to the judge's placings and took no further action.
