RACING:THE FAMOUS Saratoga track in upstate New York will see a 'battle of the Geraghtys' tomorrow with former champion jockey Barry Geraghty taking on his brother Ross on board Gordon Elliott's Dirar in a $100,000 race.

Last year’s Ebor winner Dirar is one of 10 horses lining up for the New York Turf Writers Cup over two miles and three furlongs. Also in the race is the ex-Irish Decoy Daddy, to be ridden by Ross Geraghty who is now based in the US.

Gordon Elliott is targeting an extensive autumn campaign in America for Dirar, winding up at the Fair Hills meeting in New Jeresy on October 22nd.

“We’ve had runners over here before, but no success,” said Elliott, who has already arrived in America. “The prize-money is very good and there is also the chance of good ground.”

The Co Meath-based trainer added: “He travelled over nicely and seems in good order.”
