Never Shout Never sprints clear on handicap debut

Never Shout Never justified good support and relished the testing conditions at Cork to take the Buy Tickets Online At www.corkracecourse.ie Handicap.

The Fozzy Stack-trained gelding handled soft ground when runner-up in a maiden at Tipperary recently and persistent rain turned the ground soft before this second race on the card.

The 100/30 favourite was prominent throughout and asserted from the furlong pole under Jamie Powell staying on strongly to beat Distillate by three and a quarter lengths. Cholita was a further length and a half back in third.

Powell said, “I spoke to Fozzy and to Joey Sheridan and they were keen on us going forward and not pulling out of him — just get him breathing right.

“I knew this lad would get through the ground well as he’s a big, strong horse.”
