Ballinrobe is the Right course for Cullen's mare

She’stherightone was held up towards the rear in the Supermac’s Handicap Hurdle (Div I) before making good headway on the run to the last.
Simon Torrens asked for more turning in and Denis Cullen’s mare picked up well to win by three lengths from Caridadi
The loose Ashton Court (sent off 7/4 favourite only to fall at the first) gave the winner something to aim at in the final furlong.
The winner had finished third in four handicap hurdles last year, including three times at Ballinrobe, and this breakthrough win came on the back of a nine month lay-off.
Winning trainer Denis Cullen said: "I'm delighted with that as she threatened to do it last year.
"Simon gave her a fabulous ride — he put her to sleep.
"It's great for the lads that own her (Right Ones Syndicate). They're good friends and I'm delighted for them."
