Harrington stable in Cracking form with Roscommon treble

The three-year-old handicap over just shy of a mile and a half went to the topweight Youcrackmeup under Ronan Whelan.

The blinkered handicap debutant was sent off at 14/1 and, with not much pace on, Whelan let her stride on in front as they passed the post with a circuit to race. Both Show No Fear (6/1) and 5/2 favourite Notturno threw down strong challenges in the straight but the winner was not for passing.

She scored by a length from Show No Fear with the market leader another half a length back in third.

After Pivotal Trigger and the Whelan-partnered Queen Of Seduction it was a 224/1 treble for Jessica Harrington.

Whelan commented: “The guys at home thought she wasn’t killing herself so hence the blinkers on her. I’d say she’s a filly that only does enough and they were definitely a help to her.

“She loved the ground and is a filly that will go further as well. I’d say she can’t go far enough and that might do her confidence the world of good.

“Jessie’s horses couldn’t be in any better form. It’s great to be riding for her and the guys in there couldn’t be more helpful to me as well.”
