Irish Stallion Farms EBF 'Sovereign Path' Handicap: Tom Marquand onboard I’m a Gambler comes home to win. Photograph: Tom Maher/InphoThere was British-trained one-two in the €150,000 Irish Stallion Farms EBF “Sovereign Path” Handicap at Leopardstown, with the Charlie and Mark Johnston-trained I’m A Gambler holding off the late charge of John Quinn’s Safe Voyage.
Half a length was the official margin for the 18-1 shot, and Marquand — making his first ride at the Dublin track a winning one — said: “I’m obviously getting a bit lucky with these Irish tracks coming over and having a first go around, but to be fair we had all the help there with a good draw.“The track rode a bit sharper than I’d imagined from watching it.”
Down in grade and a 9-2 chance in the hands of Colin Keane, the Juddmonte-owned two-year-old ran prominently on the inside rail and broke away from Aidan O’Brien’s Library to prevail by two lengths.
