Tally Ho Stud’s first-crop sire Inns Of Court (Ire) had an impressive 21 winners on the board prior to Monday’s Listed Ballyhane Blenheim S. and one of them Megarry (Ire) became his first black-type winner in that six-furlong Fairyhouse contest. Off the mark at the fourth attempt over this trip at The Curragh last month, the Gavin Cromwell-trained €25,000 Goffs Sportsman’s graduate had finished runner-up to another of the sire’s progeny in the re-opposing Lia Fail (Ire) in a Navan conditions race Sept. 2. Away smartly from the widest draw, the 9-1 shot was kept handy by Gary Carroll and mastered the 6-5 favourite Mansa Musa (Ire) (Ten Sovereigns {Ire}) a furlong out en route to a convincing 2 1/4-length success with Lia Fail another 1 1/4 lengths behind in third making it a one-three for the impactful son of Invincible Spirit (Ire).
Megarry (9/1) lands the Listed @BallyhaneStud Bleinheim Stakes and in really likeable style under Gary Carroll for @gavincromwell1.
What a day for trainer, saving the best until last in a brilliant across-the-card four-timer 👏 @Fairyhouse pic.twitter.com/TjY63wQ3zR
