RACE DETAILS
Turco and Ingomar set off at a blistering pace, clear of Innishowen, while Maid of Erin was last approaching the top of the hill. Racing downhill, Maid of Erin rapidly made up the lost ground to join the pack of 4 which could be covered by a blanket even as they approached the distance. However, Innishowen was full of running and readily took it up and began to draw clear, winning easily by 3 lengths from Ingomar, with a further length back to Maid of Erin. |
