Tally-Ho breezers light up Saturday action

Tally-Ho breezers were in excellent form on Saturday, notably Navassa Island who landed a deserved stakes success in the Listed Irish Stallion Farms EBF Cork Stakes at Cork.

A half-sister to former celebrated Tally-Ho breezer Lezoo, Navassa Island has held good company throughout her career for Michael O'Callaghan, with placings in the Group 3 Prix de Seine-et-Oise and Fillies' Sprint Stakes - when beaten a neck by champion Porta Fortuna - to go with a maiden victory at the Curragh.

Making her seasonal reappearance on Saturday, the daughter of Territories won unchallenged under Colin Keane by over three lengths.

Michael O'Callaghan said: "She really deserved to win a stakes race and had finished second in a Group 3 on her first ever run as a two-year-old. She went to Ascot then and got jarred up and since then, has been placed six times in stakes company.

"It is great for her owners who have persevered and given us another go again this year and we had her ready today, knowing she would have her ideal conditions. Colin (Keane) said we can go anywhere with her on heavy ground.

"She will have a spring and autumn campaign and will get a break when the ground starts to tighten up, so we'll target some nice races."

Navassa Island was bought by her trainer from us at the Tattersalls Craven Breeze-Up Sale.

Also on Saturday, Constant Star took a nice step forward for Tom Clover to win the 7f novice at Wolverhampton.

Another new winner for Starman, she was sold by us at last year's Tattersalls Guineas Breeze-Up Sale to her trainer acting with JS Bloodstock and Pythia Sports. She races for Hpb Racing - Stigliano.

Constant Star was bred by us out of Nurse Dee, a winning daughter of Kodiac.
