Flanagan seen to good effect

Sun 5th Jul 2009, 16:16

Sean Flanagan was seen to good effect when holding off the late charge of 11/8f The God Of Love by the narrowest of margins to land Division One of the Twilight Racing Beginners Chase aboard the Dusty Sheehy-trained Quintana

Winning owner Brendan Ferris,a farmer from Killorlglin in Kerry, stated afterwards, "He got his ground here today. He had more experience than the second horse which helped and we just had a bit of luck on the run-in."
