Zarinsk dominant again in the Brownstown

Zarinsk registered her third blacktype success, winning yesterday's Gr.3 Brownstown Stakes at Fairyhouse in comfortable fashion.

Taken from the Thoroughbred Daily News, 13th July 2023, by Tom Frary:

As she had in Leopardstown's Listed Ingabelle Stakes in September and the Gr.3 Cornelscourt Stakes in May, the homebred proved ruthless once Colin Keane had asked her to extend her lead in the straight. Giving customarily generously, the second favourite hit the line strong with two and a half lengths to spare over Cigamia with the 6-5 favourite American Sonja a length and a quarter further away in third.

"She's a queen and seven furlongs around a bend is made for her," trainer Ger Lyons said. "She's honest out and is holding the yard together this year. She's not really ground-dependent, but doesn't want extremes. If you wanted to make a race for her, that was it."
