Flame Of Eire completes handicap hat-trick

Flame Of Eire (9/2) completed a hat-trick of handicaps wins today, landing Bellewstown's Lougher Handicap for father and son, trainer and jockey Andy and Andrew Slattery.

The Mehmas-filly was previously successful twice in July, at Limerick and Galway, and following her third win, trainer Slattery said "we fancied her in Tipperary in her first handicap but she ran a stinker for some reason and then won in Limerick.

“She seems to be getting better and I think she will be a nice four-year-old. Hopefully she goes on to better things, we'll give her another run this year and that will be it.

"It is great for the Harneys as they bred her and they have the dam and maybe she could run in the Lincoln next year.”
