Consecutive wins and 'distance' deja vu, by All For Rachel

All For Rachel (100/30f) recorded two consecutive six-and-a-half-length monthly wins today, as Oliver McKiernan's gelding easily landed Listowel's Paddy Woods Handicap Hurdle under Philip Enright.

The seven-year-old son of Jet Away won similarly with ease at Punchestown on May 21 and today, while penalised 9lb, won eased down by that same 6.5 lengths winning margin.

Afterwards Kiernan stated “it took the penny a while to drop with this fella and it was his first time to win at Punchestown the last day. He loves to be dropped in, kept on the outside and to come with a run but we're only learning it now after three or four years!

“He had lots of little issues but the main thing is he is enthusiastic and that is probably what it boils down to. Most of my other horses will be going out now but we'll use him now for the summer.

“He has good size and can jump a fence as well.”
