Navan bumper won by 'fabulous,for sale' mare

Jessica Harrington landed the concluding Kevin Bell Trust (Pro-Am) Bumper at Navan today with Magic Of Light which made all under the trainer’s daughter Kate Harrington, who also owns the winning mare.

The daughter of Flemensfirth had point to pointed last January and finished third on her debut for the Harringtons at Listowel in September and improved from that showing today when proving two lengths too strong for Minella Fair

Afterwards Kate Harrington stated “I’m delighted with her and she’s a tough mare.

“Mark Fahey had her last year for me when we thought she was nice and he took her to go point-to-pointing. She slipped on take off and hurt herself very badly in her point to point run (when pulled up) and credit to the vets in Cork they saved her life.

“She is a fabulous mare and we’ve always thought a lot of her. She’ll come back here for the mares listed race and is also for sale if anyone wants to buy her - I think she’s a proper filly.”
