Review gowran park 1st Oct
< Molly's Boy landed a decent prize when taking the feature ITBA & Gain Horse Feeds Encourage Breeders To Go Racing Handicap Hurdle at Gowran in a thrilling finish.
The Eddie Cawley-trained nine-year-old, a winner only once in 16 previous career outings over timber, did just enough to fend off the opposition in the hands of Andrew Lynch.
The 11-2 shot edged in front after challenging long-time leader Footy Facts at the final flight, but dangers arrived thick and fast and a blanket could have covered the first four home. Molly's Boy held on by a neck from Brownpolish
Joanna Morgan's Jigalo was well-supported ahead of the ITBA & Gain Horse Feeds Working For Irish Breeders Handicap Chase and made the most of bottom weight to score in cosy fashion.
Settled in rear, the 5-2 favourite travelled sweetly up to the leaders and looked to be going best of all three out before Davy Condon nudged him clear to win comfortably by three and a half lengths.
The Robert Tyner-trained Pay The Bounty (7-2 joint-favourite) always looked to be going well in the YITBA Encourage Young People To Go Racing Beginners Chase and took over from Coast approaching the last before going away to score by three lengths for Philip Enright.< Askanna (4-1) and Tilabay were never far away from each other in the ITBA S/E Region Supporting Irish Racing Industry Hurdle and they were locked togther down the straight.
It was Colin Bowe's mare who emerged on top, forging ahead by half a length on the run-in under Barry O'Neill to follow up victories in a bumper and a maiden hurdle during the summer.< Smokey Joe Joe (10-1) was always up with the pace in the ITBA S/E Region Maiden Hurdle and scored by nine lengths, while Ragtime Lucy (16-1) went on approaching two out in the ITBA Supporting Gowran Park Racecourse Handicap Hurdle and won by a length and three-quarters.
