Saturn, who was bred by Galileo out of Alpha Centauri, was obviously better than an 80-rated performer, but the grey is headed in the right direction and today finished first for Shane Foley and Jessica Harrington in the Leopardstown Golf and Driving Range Handicap.
At Group Three level, the well-backed 9/4 favourite, Bold Discovery, added to the previous Commonstown wins.
While at the Foxrock location, Willie Mullins was pursuing the second session winner. Saturn narrowly defeated his Ethical Diamond, much to the delight of Kate, Mrs. Harrington's daughter.
She said: "We're delighted with that. He did things really nicely there and that's his minimum trip. We'll step him up to a mile-and-a-half and hopefully, he can keep progressing.”
