Pretty Smart gains fourth career win

Pretty Smart gained compensation for a luckless passage on her previous start at Fairyhouse 12 days ago when landing the Fermoy Handicap (div II) at Cork today for trainer Pat Martin and jockey Mikey Sheehy.

The daughter of Dandy Man, previously successful at Dundalk and Navan twice, finished mid-field when meeting significant significant traffic problems at Fairyhouse and today scored comfortably by two and a quarter lengths from Canford Art

Afterwards Sheehy stated “she has done it well today, Dylan Browne McMonagle normally rides her and is in Down Royal and I'm glad Pat put me up.

“She is a good sprinter in that grade and a bit more ease in the ground would probably suit her better but she got away with it today.”
