Review clonmel 9th Jun
Davy Russell stole the show at Clonmel, with Sea Light s victory in the BBQ Evening At Clonmel Races Beginners Chase the highlight of a treble.
Useful over timber but well beaten on his first crack at fences, Charles Byrnes' charge was still supported down to 13-8 favourite and Russell made his move on the run to the second-last.
He jumped it alongside Fly Rory Fly but that rival crashed out and Sea Light then safely negotiated the final obstacle before keeping the staying-on Master Appeal half a length at bay.< Dawn In The Park overcame some wayward tendencies to justify 7-4 favouritism in the BBQ Evening At Clonmel Races Maiden Hurdle
Joseph O'Brien's mare hung left to the rail approaching the last but Russell kept his composure and booted her home a length and a quarter clear of long-time leader Theatre Dreams < Just Janice proved too strong in the Orchard Thieves Handicap Hurdle.
The former champion jockey was content to bide his time on the 7-1 chance but produced her with her run approaching two out and although Steamboat Quay and War Of The Pennys tried to give her a race, she stretched a length and a half away.< Eight Till Late broke his fencing duck at the 11th attempt in the John Kennedy Motors (Toyota) Clonmel Beginners Chase.
The 5-2 joint-favourite jumped his way to the front a fair way out and when second-last falls ended the hopes of Valgor Du Ronceray and Definite Income Eight Till Late came home four and a quarter lengths in front of Jack Slade < Bective Cave (10-1) showed his appreciation for a drop in distance by landing the BBQ Evening At Clonmel Races Handicap Hurdle by four and a half lengths.< Dark Outsider won the Clonmel Show Sunday 2nd July Handicap Chase as the 4-1 favourite, and 20-1 shot Like An Open Book took the Irish Stallion Farms EBF (Mares) Flat Race.
