Whose version is right? Part 3 of A Painful Truth examines North America's singular stance on medication. Download part three by clicking here.

Galileo Colt Graduates at Leopardstown

Posted: 3:27 PM ET

18.30 at LEP

[7f (T)]

Winner: Flying the Flag (Ire), c, 2 by Galileo (Ire)

Leopardstown, 18.30, Cond, €20,000, 2yo, 7fT, 1:34.13, gd/sf.
+FLYING THE FLAG (IRE) (c, 2, Galileo {Ire}--Halfway to Heaven {Ire} {MG1SW-Eng, G1SW-Ire, $944,933}, by Pivotal {GB}) was alert from the outside box and settled second until coming under pressure on the home turn. Ridden along passing the two pole, the well-backed 5-4 pick appeared held by the enterprisingly-ridden Einsteins Folly (Ire) (Whipper) entering the final eighth, but swooped late under tender handling, as stamina boosters kicked in, to assert by 3/4 of a length from that rival.
