Still Goodenough at twelve
Mr Goodenough and Rachael Blackmore on their way to victory

Twelve-year-old Mr Goodenough displayed plenty of zip to register his fifth victory on the racecourse proper in the Martinstown Opportunity Handicap Chase at Leopardstown.
Rachael Blackmore was in the plate on the Witness Box gelding for owner/trainer/breeder John Robinson, and at the finish the successful 25/1 chance had five and a half lengths in hand over Crowded Room
"He runs well for Rachael. He's always been like that. If he likes a jockey he goes well for them," said Robinson.
"I think the drying ground was a help. When he was young he was able to handle heavy but as he's got older he's not able for it.
"I put the blinkers on him to help him focus.
"We'll see what the handicapper does and we might go back to Fairyhouse for the race on Easter Tuesday that he won last year. He's better on the bigger tracks."
