Elzaam’s Limiti Di Greccio Impresses In The Staffordstown

[Wandering Eyes]

The Curragh's Staffordstown Stud S. looked a listed race in name only on Sunday and it duly produced a winner who could be destined for the top in Martin Schwartz's Limiti Di Greccio (Ire) (Elzaam {Aus}). Successful in a seven-furlong Leopardstown maiden Aug. 12 and runner-up in the Sept. 11 Listed Ingabelle S. back over that course and distance since joining Paddy Twomey from Andrew Kinsella, the bay raced towards the rear of mid-division early against the rail under Billy Lee. Running into a pocket two out and again at the furlong pole, the cause appeared lost as Tranquil Lady (Ire) (Australia {GB}) and Sunset Shiraz (Ire) (Time Test {GB}) forged on ahead but once angled off the fence produced a rare surge to overhaul that duo with 50 yards remaining. At the line, there was a dominant 1 1/4-length margin to Tranquil Lady, who held on for the silver medal by a short head from Sunset Shiraz who brought leading formlines into the contest having placed in the G1 Moyglare Stud S., G2 Debutante S. and G3 Weld Park S.
