GLASS House put up quite a remarkable performance in the circumstances to win the Tattersalls Ireland sales race at the Curragh on Sunday.

Just about everything that could have gone against the Ger Lyons-trained filly did go against her. For starters, she was drawn in stall one of 30, probably in the worst box. Generally, you want to be close to the stands’ rail on the straight track at the Curragh when the track is at its widest, perhaps unless the ground is very soft, and the Qatar Racing filly couldn’t have been further from it.
