- Turn Burns off rivals in bumper
Turn Burns off rivals in bumper
Burn And Turn got Jessica Harrington off the mark for the week at Punchestown when taking the Irish Sun-sponsored bumper in impressive fashion under the trainer's daughter Kate.
Out of luck when Roberto Goldback unseated Robert Power with a narrow lead at the last in yesterday's Guinness Gold Cup, the local trainer had also saddled a string of placed horses before striking gold here.
The Flemensfirth mare (13/2) made smooth headway on the rail to lead off the home bend, and drew clear to beat Lord Gale (14/1) by nine lengths. Black Benny (25/1) was another two lengths back in third, while 15/8 favourite Vesper Bell appeared to be travelling well approaching the straight but could find no extra finishing fourth.
Harrington said: "Finally a change of luck! She did it very easily and was cantering on the better ground. I couldn't believe how easily she was going. The further she went the further she was going away. She will head over hurdles next season, and she's a brilliant jumper."
