1st 19 Drumbaragh (IRE) N/A AVG
Patrick Martin 146 lbs 28/1 Won Chased leaders - left in lead 5th - went clear after 3 out - kept on strongly from 2 out - comfortably (trainer said - regarding the apparent improved form shown - that today was the mares third run in his care having been transferred from another trainer. in his opinion he had run the mare at both limerick and thurles on soft ground as she had shown previous form on similar ground when second in an inhs flat race. at limerick she ran well to the straight until levelling and previously at thurles she failed to handle the gluey ground. he added that she works indifferently and it was decided to run her today on the drier ground conditions and furthermore to change the riding tactics to allowing her to settle well in a more prominent position. in running she got a soft lead during the race and went clear before staying on well in the closing stages)(op 33/1)
