Oxx and Berry on the double at the Curragh
Oxx and Berry made it a quick double in the Listed Flame Of Tara EBF Stakes with Forthefirstime, appropriately also a maiden.
Her second to Prima Luce at the track last time looked decent form and the yard are clearly flying with Four Sins winning here on Friday.
After British raiders Sudden Impact and Crying Aloud weakened, a trio of Forthefirstime, Bett’s Spirit and Longing To Dance came to the fore but the former’s challenge on the outside was enough to gain the day by a neck and the same.
Oxx said of the 7-2 joint-favourite: “She handles this ground well and just didn’t stay seven furlongs last time so we dropped her back to six.
“It’s the first winner for her owners Byerley Racing and I’d say she’ll carry on for another run.”
