Jessica Harrington's streak goes on as Torcedor scores

Jessica Harrington continued her amazing run this spring when Torcedor floored Order Of St George in the Coolmore Vintage Crop Stakes at Navan.

After enjoying success with Sizing John in the Cheltenham Gold Cup and Our Duke in the Irish Grand National, Harrington doubled up after Khukri's earlier win the Listed Coolmore Stud Power Stakes.

Colm O'Donoghue, who partnered both horses, was positive from the outset on Torcedor, who was supplementing victory on his reappearance at Leopardstown earlier this month.

Order Of St George, having his first start for 190 days, was held up in the early stages and though he stayed on for Seamie Heffernan, the Aidan O'Brien-trained five-year-old could not get to grips with the leader.

Torcedor (4/1) kept up the gallop to land the Group Three prize by a length and a half from the 4/5 favourite to earn a quote of 16-1 for the Ascot Gold Cup with Betfair.

Harrington said: "Colm said he had come on from Leopardstown. I put my neck on the line and supplemented him for this. I thought if we could get third it would be great.

"What I'm really pleased about is that the ground is very different from Leopardstown and I wasn't sure if it was just the slow ground there that helped him.

"He seemed to travel on that ground perfectly and seemed to love it. He's grown in confidence.

"He won well at Leopardstown, but this was a big step up in class and he had to improve."

She added: "I know it was his second run of the year and Order Of St George's first, so he's going to come forward from there, but I loved the way he stayed every yard of it.

"They went a good gallop and started taking him on from the far side. He stayed at it all the way to the line.

"I'll have a conference with the owners and see where we go, but I'd say we'll probably like to go to Ascot with him.

"If he goes on improving it will be brilliant. He's a very relaxed horse.

"I don't think he'll be going jumping for a while. That's why he was sent to me, but I think that's gone out the window."

Our Duke's Fairyhouse triumph supplemented the Gold Cup win of Sizing John at Cheltenham, and the three-year-old Khukri added Listed honours with a three-quarters-of-a-length success from Gorane in the hands of Colm O'Donoghue.

Aidan O'Brien's Intelligence Cross and Alphabet took third and fourth respectively.

It was Alphabet that looked likely to land six-furlong sprint when travelling strongly to take it up from pacesetters Miss Cogent and Gorane over a furlong out, but O'Brien's charge had no answer when challenged by the 8-1 winner and quickly faded.

O'Donoghue's mount kept on well after hitting the front to score from Gorane who stuck to her task in game fashion after behind headed.

Harrington, who can look forward to a big few days ahead at Punchestown, said: "I kind of didn't expect that. He had three runs last year and we put him away after he won. He's a sprinter and I haven't really trained sprinters before.

"This was sort of the only place we could go so we put him in here and hoped for the best.

"We really didn't know what to think because he's just been working away at home and his homework probably wouldn't inspire you. It doesn't matter as he put his head in front at the right place.

"He had a good draw which was great."
