Lean And Keen and Pat Smullen

< Lean And Keen made mincemeat of his five rivals in the feature race at Ballinrobe, the www.thetote.com Handicap, claiming the decent prize on offer with a most authoritative display.
Sean Byrne's charge clearly had no problems with the deteriorating underfoot conditions as he cruised round under Pat Smullen on the way to a facile 15 length success.< Hurricane Twister and Shes No Joke ensured a true test and while the well-touted Marshall Jennings began to labour, the 2-1 victor was noted making up ground in effortless fashion, quickly taking over before easing away from his toiling adversaries.
Market leaders Aared and Swordfight produced a thrilling finish to the Bet Online At thetote.com Maiden with the latter just proving too strong.
The pair dominated as soon as the gates opened and traded blows throughout the extended 9f contest but it was Swordfight (7-4) who found most in the closing stages, eventually prevailing by a neck.
Things were much more straightforward for Jeremys Joy (9-1) in the Tote Super Pick 6 Guarantee Every Sunday Handicap as she ran out an impressive five length scorer.
The fitting of a first-time hood clearly perked up the filly who stepped up markedly on her recent form, travelling powerfully before stretching clear on the run-in.
Hot favourite Specific Gravity disappointed as 16-1 shot Zero Euro ran out a shock winner of the Tote Smart Quick Picks Now Available Claiming Race.
Harry Rogers' mare looked one of the first beat when bumped along by Gary Halpin but the seven-year-old responded to pressure and came good as they hit the straight, running down Wider World in the closing stages to score by a length and three quarters.< Uncharted Waters had a length and a half in hand when coming out on top in the Daily Tips On thetote.com Apprentice Handicap.
