Although concerned with her wide gateTrainer Darren Egan reported that he was pleased with Glenariff prior to yesterday’s 1,050 metre race at Balaklava. After jumping Shayne Cahill brought Glenariff back to allow the early speed to move up beneath her and shape the field. Understandably Glenariff was wide but Shayne found a trail behind Kissed Again. The Balaklava track has a long straight and Shayne ensured Glenariff had clear running before making his move. They found the lead a furlong from the post but it wasn’t until the final stages that Glenariff was most dominant. She pulled away to win by a length.
It was Glenariff’s six career win.
Glenariff was bred by Lauriston Thoroughbred Farm. She is by Jeune from Carnlough and a half sister to Golden Rose winner Doonan.
