Battling win for Chips Are Down

Trainer Michael Mulvany's Chips Are Down landed the six runner Parfit Mobility Vehicles Supporting KARE Nursery Handicap at The Curragh today, despite running from one pound out of a the handicap.

Ridden by capable 5lbs claimer Conor Hoban, the son of Ad Valorem raced prominently and needed a strong to eventually hold the late challenge of Desert of Dreams by a neck.

Mulvany later stated “I thought Chips Are Down was well handicapped - he had a few runs and then he got a break to freshen him up.

“He had to battle and I thought he was beaten a furlong out but he showed a bit of guts to win. He is bred to stay further and might go to Galway for the nursery there.”
