Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted September 13, 2020 Journalists Share Posted September 13, 2020 The fillies and mares were dominating Sunday’s G1 Derrinstown Stud Flying Five at The Curragh and it was last year’s G1 Prix de l’Abbaye de Longchamp heroine Glass Slippers (GB) (Dream Ahead) who prevailed after a tussle with compatriot Keep Busy (Ire) (Night of Thunder {Ire}). Last seen finishing second to Battaash (Ire) (Dark Angel {Ire}) in Goodwood’s G2 King George S. July 31, the 9-2 shot was in touch against the far rail by Tom Eaves but under the pump at halfway. Rallying gamely to wear down Keep Busy in the last 100 yards, the Bearstone Stud homebred scored by a half length, with the same margin back to Sonaiyla (Ire) (Dark Angel {Ire}) in third.
