Irresistible Pools Manion Cup (G3)
The Darren Weir-trained Big Duke got the decision in the Stewards’ Room after putting up a solid staying effort. He settled nicely back in fourth place, one off the rails, before putting in a quick move on turning for home. He challenged at the 300m but was forced wider on several occasions and after quite a battle was a very close second past the post. He was subsequently awarded the race on protest. Our Century raced in third place on the rails, challenged at the home turn and took the lead on straightening. He then battled strongly (veering a bit deep on occasions) and was first past the post by a short half head margin but was relegated to second on protest. Allergic settled in second last place in the seven-horse field, got through to a distant fourth at the 200m and kept battling on to take the minor placing.
