RACE REPORT
Arriving at the start on time, Agua took control at flag fall to lead from Paciencia, Wether's Well and Bushey Dame. This order was maintained for 3 furlongs until Paciencia gained the lead, well attended by Bushey Dame and Wether's Well. At the distance it was clear that the favourite was in trouble, leaving Tullynacree and Crowden to go head to head in a tight finish. Tullynacree forged ahead in the last 50 yards to win by a head, with Wether's Well toiling 3 lengths behind. |
