McNamara back on a winning groove

Sun 6th Jul 2008, 17:10

Jockey Andrew McNamara partnered his first winner since returning from an injury sustained at Navan on May 18 when partnering Marseillais to win the Coffey Construction Handicap Chase at Limerick today.

McNamara received severe concussion from a fall from Fen Game at Navan and returned to action at Perth last Wednesday.

McNamara, 25, partnered Marseillais to win for his retained trainer, Edward O´Grady, and the Limerick rider´s front running ride on the somewhat enigmatic gelding was flawless.
