Back-To-Back Irish Legers For Galileo’s Search For A Song

[Wandering Eyes]

Dermot Weld’s career has been marked by many landmark moments and there was another on Sunday as the master of Rosewell House delivered Moyglare Stud Farm’s Search For A Song (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) in perfect form to record back-to-back wins in The Curragh’s G1 Comer Group International Irish St Leger. Making all in dynamic fashion as a 3-year-old getting all the allowances 12 months ago, the 7-1 shot was able to creep into contention this time having been held up early by Oisin Orr. Arriving at the side of the Ebor H. winner Fujaira Prince (Ire) (Pivotal {GB}) inside the final furlong, the 4-year-old who had taken a long time to come to herself in 2020 and was pulled up during her penultimate start in the July 5 G3 Munster Oaks asserted for a two-length success, with Twilight Payment (Ire) (Teofilo {Ire}) a neck behind in third.
