Mutasarref’s triumph at Leopardstown

Mutasarref secured his first Group Three victory in the BoyleSports Ballycorus Stakes at Leopardstown. Trained by Ger Lyons, the six-year-old has consistently performed well throughout his career and now has eight wins under his belt. Already a three-time Listed winner, Mutasarref started the season in impressive form and was confidently ridden by jockey Colin Keane.

Despite a strong challenge from Special Wan in the final furlong, Mutasarref was able to hold on for the win. Trainer Ger Lyons praised his horse's performance and highlighted the importance of keeping him in his own company to maintain his form.

In another race, Willie McCreery's Jancis, ridden by Billy Lee, surprised everyone with a stunning debut win at odds of 40-1. Making a late surge in the race, Jancis stormed to victory in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies & Mares Maiden. McCreery praised the patience of the owner and expressed optimism for Jancis' future.

Overall, it was a successful day for both Mutasarref and Jancis, showcasing their talent and potential for future races.
