Eightybarackstreet scores for the Coopers

Sun 14th Aug 2011, 15:09

There was a father and son success in the Richard Power Handicap Hurdle at Tramore as Eightybarackstreet struck.

There was plenty of drama in the race with Charger crashing out early and well-backed 13/8 favourite Pozyc almost slipping up on the top bend.

Eightybarackstreet had a lovely run to pick it up going to the last, however, and stayed on well in the closing stages to score by two-lengths from Knockcroghery

Bryan Cooper is enjoying a fine summer and teamed up with his father Tom.

"We thought he was very good after he won his bumper but he's had a lot of problems," said Cooper junior afterwards.

"He's back to himself now and is open to improvement."
