GENERAL MACARTHUR (c, 2, War Front–Imagine {Ire} {Hwt. 3yo Filly-Eng at 11-14f, G1SW-Eng & Ire, $527,013}, by Sadler’s Wells), disappointing when fifth on debut as the 5-4 favorite for a mile maiden at Leopardstown July 23, was settled in third early traveling strongly. Sent to the front passing the quarter pole, the 11-4 second choice stayed on strongly to hold A Likely Story (Ire) (Exceed and Excel {Aus}) by a half length. The winner is a half-brother to Horatio Nelson (Ire) (Danehill), G1SW-Fr, GSW & G1SP-Eng, GSW-Ire, $488,433, to Red Rock Canyon (Ire) (Rock of Gibraltar {Ire}), MG1SP-Ire, $360,889; to Kitty Matcham (Ire) (Rock of Gibraltar {Ire}), GSW-Eng, $106,564; to Viscount Nelson (Giant’s Causeway), MSW & G1SP-Ire, GSW-UAE, G1SP-Eng, $707,647; and to Point Piper (Giant’s Causeway), SW-US, $102,725.
