Well, what can you say? Irish Harp was rightfully well-fancied, and got away from the gate well enough. But when the final acceleration was called for in the straight, nothing happened. The overall race time improved, but the last 3F time was incredibly disappointing, leaving her trailing behind off the pace. Let's hope she gets her act together soon...
As for Mephisto Waltz, he's still learning on the job - the trainer has a policy of building on race experience, so we can't expect much from him for a while yet probably. But at least his footwork improved nicely and his last 3F time was the same as his debut outing, despite the extra furlong, which added 10.4 seconds to his overall race time. With more control and concentration - something that will come with age - hopefully his Dalakhani blood will start to show through. If he's not tired, expect him out again soon.
