Yet more G1 success for Roger Varian and Andrea Atzeni who successfully team up with Cursory Glance to win the Moyglare at the Curragh.
 |
Fresh from tasting Classic glory for the first time with Saturday's York's Lowther Stakes, at the highest level.
The 11-8 favourite tracked the leaders on her first appearance over seven furlongs before being nudged towards the front ing the final furlong marker. Lucida finished powerfully to make a race of it, but Cursory Glance held on by a neck.
Aidan O'Brien's course maiden winner Found ran a good race to finish third on just her second start.
Varian said: "Andrea felt she was running a bit lazy, and when he gave her a squeeze she took off. Perhaps she ended up in front a bit too long but it was a funny race.
"She has tremendous natural speed, is very talented and gets this trip well.
"She is a Group One winner now and that will probably be it for this season. Hopefully she will have a massive year next year.
"It has been a magical weekend and has not really sunk in yet.
"Kingston Hill is fine this morning but he had a tough race yesterday. If he bounces back from the St Leger and is 100 per cent then he deserves to be in the Arc line-up."
