- Review bellewstown 3rd Jul
Review bellewstown 3rd Jul
< Corrick Bridge repaid a debt to Ruby Walsh as he landed the Bellewstown Golfcourse Handicap Hurdle at Bellewstown.
It was the Tony Martin-trained grey's fall over fences at Down Royal last November that left the jockey with a broken leg that kept him out of action for several months.
Walsh rode his usual patient race on the 8-1 shot, who challenged Carutomark at the final flight and forged clear on the run-in to win by two and a half lengths.< Tom Horn led all the way in the hands of Paul Carberry to complete a hat-trick in the other jumps race on the card, the Nordman Portable Stables Hurdle.
Noel Meade's five-year-old (4-5 favourite) was strongly challenged by Inspector Clouseau and Priors Gold coming down the straight but beat them off to score by a length.
Katie Walsh executed a perfectly judged ride to get De Senectute home in front in the www.pacon.ie (QR) Handicap on the six-year-old's return from a year-long lay-off.
She rode a patient race on the Willie Mullins-trained 11-4 favourite, closing up on the run to the home bend and delivering her with a smooth challenge to lead 100 yards out for a two-length victory.
Pat Smullen completed a double when he slipped clear on the Harry Rogers-trained Elusive Ridge (9-1) in the Glebe House Stud Handicap and then just held Solent Ridge s flourish by a short head.
The jockey had already won on Dermot Weld's filly Oh What A Kitten (11-8 favourite), who was in front all the way in company with Jouster in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Median Auction Maiden and won their duel by half a length.
Shane Foley, replacing the unwell Colm O'Donoghue, got David Marnane's Maal (5-1) home in a tight finish to the Balbriggan Retail Park Claiming Race, holding Port Elizabeth s late charge by a head.
