Good Thyne Tara makes all for Listed success

Good Thyne Tara landed the odds in good style when making all in the Pat Walsh Memorial Irish EBF Mares Hurdle at Gowran Park.

The Willie Mullins-trained mare was recording her sixth career win, and her third over hurdles this season.

Paul Townend elected to make every yard in this 2m2f Listed race, and the eight-year-old mare was in control when making a slight mistake at the last.

The 4/7 favourite kept on well on the run-in for a convincing four and a half lengths verdict over Make My Heart Fly with Awayinthewest the same distance further back in third.

Townend said, “She ran a cracker in the Galway Hurdle and the extra few furlongs suited her today. It was probably a bit sharp for her in Galway. She was still there at the last which she missed a bit and it probably cost her a place or two.

“It’s proper good ground and the jar is gone out of it.”
