Listed Irish Stallion Farms EBF Salsabil S.

Hot on the heels of Ocean Quest (Ire) (Sioux Nation) tearing up the Listed Irish Stallion Farms EBF Committed S., Village Voice (GB) (Zarak {Fr}–Sensible Way, by Street Sense) brought up a black-type double for the Jessica Harrington stable in Navan's Listed Irish Stallion Farms EBF Salsabil S. Anchored in rear early by Ronan Whelan in the 10-furlong Oaks trial, the 7-1 shot who had been third in the G3 Eyrefield S. at Leopardstown in October was threaded through a gap on the rail to overhaul the 11-10 favourite Jackie Oh (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) 150 yards out and score by 3/4 of a length, with 2 3/4 lengths back to the fellow Harrington-trained pace-setter Foniska (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) in third.

“She loved the going and ground it out well–Jessie's horses couldn't be in better form,” Whelan said. “She was running a big race in the Eyrefield, but got a big bump on the bend and ran out of steam at the end.” Assistant trainer Kate Harrington added, “I'd imagine we will go [G2] Ribblesdale now. It has been a good day and a great tonic for mum.”

The dam Sensible Way (Street Sense) is a daughter of Nasheej (Swain {Ire}), who captured the G2 May Hill S., G3 Fred Darling S. and G3 Sweet Solera S. and was third in the G1 1000 Guineas, G1 Coronation S. and G1 Fillies' Mile. From the family of the G2 Champions Juvenile S. winner and Derby runner-up Madhmoon (Ire) (Dawn Approach {Ire}) and the legendary Seattle Slew, her 2-year-old filly is by French Navy (GB).

Rated no better than a 33-1 shot prior to Sunday's Listed 10-furlong Listed Irish Stallion Farms EBF Salsabil S. at Navan, Catherine Kinane's Rocky Sky (Ire) (Rock of Gibraltar {Ire}) turned that logic on its head with a scintillating display to score by 4 1/4 lengths and provide Ross O'Sullivan with a first black-type win in this sphere. Last seen finishing runner-up in the Listed Patton S. over a mile on Dundalk's Polytrack Mar. 5, the dark bay tanked her way to the front after the first two furlongs under Gary Halpin and was clear passing the half-mile marker. While rival jockeys must have been expecting her to come back, she had other ideas and continued her surge to the line to lead fellow 33-1 shot French Fusion (Ire) (Harzand {Ire}) and co a merry dance.

Halpin was also enjoying a first black-type win and said, “She's a grand filly. I knew coming here today that stepping up in trip and getting on to the grass she'd be very competitive. She'll come forward again from today. She's an exciting filly and it's very nice to ride a winner for Mr and Mrs Kinane and all the team at Castlefarm Stud. She has plenty of pace and I'd say a mile-and-a-quarter is okay for now, I wouldn't be in any rush to go a mile-and-a-half with her. She hasn't done anything wrong so far and the world is her oyster at the minute.”

The multiple listed-placed dam is a half to two others in that mould in Global City (Ire) (Exceed and Excel {Aus}) and Sweet Afton (Ire) (Mujadil). With a yearling full-brother to the winner to follow, she is a granddaughter of the G1 Prix de Diane heroine Lypharita (Fr) (Lightning {Fr}).
