Viareggio victorious in Snow Fairy

Viareggio was a comfortable winner of the Snow Fairy Fillies Stakes at the Curragh.

Twice third in Listed company this season, the Jessica Harrington-trained three-year-old significantly boosted her value in this Group Three affair.

But switched for a run Colin Keane’s mount did not pick up as might have been expected and instead it was Shane Foley’s mount who came out on top, by two and a quarter lengths from Magic Chegaga.

Harrington said of her 9-1 scorer: “It’s great to get that big black type.

“I’m not sure where she will go next, but she’s a lovely filly and as tough as old boots.

“That’s probably her trip (nine furlongs). A mile is too short and a mile and a quarter might just stretch her.

“She been very consistent and seems to go on any sort of ground.

“She’ll be sold at the end of the year.”
