Order Of St George Gelding Lands Four-Year-Old Maiden
Island Bridge (4g Order Of St George – Elephant Island, by Oscar) took a step forward on his seasonal return to land Sunday’s four-year-old maiden at Peppards Castle.
Runner-up on his sole start last season, the Sean Doyle-trained bay was partnered by Jamie Scallan on his first start since April. Racing in midfield for much of the way, he was ridden from two out and kept on well on the run-in to beat the favourite Sheer Raz (Walk In The Park) by a neck.
Bred by Pat O’Donovan, Island Bridge hails from the first crop of Order Of St George.
