Pimlico sheds maiden tag

Pimlico Sound showed real dash to justify favouritism in the opening www.tote.com Handicap under Wayne Lordan.

The grey son of Acclamation made all and kicked on from a furlong and a half out. The five-year-old stayed on well to beat Fairy Flow by three and a half lengths.

Fairy Flow ran much better than she did yesterday with different tactics adopted here, Pat Smullen electing to drop her in this time.

Trainer Thomond O'Mara handles Pimlico Sound for the O'Dowd-Kelleher Syndicate and 13/8 market-leader was getting off the mark here at the sixteenth attempt.
