Precise moment proves telling in Moyglare Stud Stakes

Precise upset better-fancied stablemate Composing and previously unbeaten British raider Venetian Sun to land the Moyglare Stud Stakes.

Silver Flash and Debutante Stakes winner Composing looked the clear first string of three runners for Aidan O’Brien as the even-money favourite, with Albany, Duchess of Cambridge Stakes and Prix Morny heroine Venetian Sun a 5-2 shot to provide Karl Burke with his fourth winner of the weekend.

Composing was soon in front in the hands of Christophe Soumillon, with another Ballydoyle runner, Beautify, her nearest pursuer passing the two-furlong marker and Precise and Venetian Sun in behind.

While Venetian Sun and Clifford Lee were caught in a pocket as the race began in earnest, Precise (11-2) had clear daylight down the outside under Ronan Whelan and quickened up well to grab the lead inside the final furlong and beat Beautify by three-quarters of a length.

Venetian Sun was a further length and three-quarters behind in third having never really got into top gear, while Composing was ultimately a little disappointing in fourth given she had the run of the race.
