- Geraghty at his best aboard Donnas Palm
Geraghty at his best aboard Donnas Palm
Donna’s Palm ran out an easy winner of the Grade 2 Giltspur Scientific Tara Hurdle in the hands of Barry Geraghty.
The runners crawled for the first part of the race with all runners reluctant to set the pace. Ruby Walsh increased the tempo aboard Scotsirish from halfway.
Geraghty took up the lead after the second last and Donnas Palm ran on well to score by two and half lengths over Give It Time
Winning trainer Meade said afterwards: “My only concern was that he might not get two and half miles so the slow pace really suited us.”
“He’s a good horse we just don’t know how good he is but he’s up there with Go Native and Muirhead. I’m not too sure where we’ll go next.”
“I don’t know what happened him last year maybe he did too much racing too quickly.”
