TRADITIONALLY the final weekend of the season would not be renowned for producing above-average winners in the younger age maidens. However, this has been far from a normal season and the interruptions would seem to have improved the quality late in the season.

That would certainly seem to be the case on the evidence of the performance that was produced by Crypto Currency (92++) in the Kirkistown four-year-old maiden. Run to a very steady early pace, this consequently put the emphasis on speed, and the son of Yeats was certainly not found wanting when he left his rivals trailing in a very swift move out of the back straight. He is clearly a very nimble individual who should be very able to develop into a smart performer over shorter trips.
