Katie Wins Again for Cotter

Wed 1st Apr 2009, 16:54

The predicted match between Azana and Nazdaq (saddle slipped early) in the Goresbridge Handicap Hurdle failed to materialise (it was 10/1 bar the pair) as Cruising Katie (a 16/1 shot) beat off Unforgettable and Gaspar

Cruising Katie was a first winner for trainer, Richard Cotter from Ballynoe, Co. Cork, when she scored at Tramore on New Year's Eve.

He said of the Andrew Thornton-partnered winner: "She ran on bottomless ground at Limerick the last day in a listed hurdle. She was in off a handy weight today and she is a tough mare and she gets further."

The Cotter-trained Longueville Quest was placed a lot of times without winning in the past. (EM)
