Street good Value for Porterstown success

The John Flavin-trained Street Value bounced back to winning ways when grinding out victory at odds of 22/1 in an attritional renewal of the Porterstown Handicap Chase at Fairyhouse.
The three-mile-five contest came down to four turning for home with Regina Dracones travelling best in the lead.
Street Value was just behind the leaders, along with Frontal Assault as History Of Fashion came to dispute with Regina Dracones at the penultimate fence.
Danny Mullins had a willing partner in Street Value though as he gained a narrow lead down to the last and stayed on stoutly to win by three lengths from History Of Fashion.
The winner had pulled up on his most recent outing at Carlisle early last month.
Flavin said:- “He deserved that as he got a wicked bad fall here in the race after the Grand National and I thought he was dead when he hit the ground.
“The lads (Miracle Cure Syndicate) deserved a big day like that and they have been with me from the very start.
“To come back and do that is unbelievable. He ran well over hurdles in Clonmel but the ground dried up too much in Carlisle the last day.
“This was always the plan. They went a wicked gallop which I knew would suit him as he stays and Danny gave him a great ride. He kept him wide and he jumped great.
“He loves soft ground and is much better going this way. If he got in he might go for the Irish National one day. The National Trial in Punchestown could be a race for him.
“I’m based in Tramore and that’s my biggest win.”
