Brinestone powers clear for cosy win Brinestone powered clear in the closing stages to run out a convincing winner of the nine furlong handicap at the Curragh. Gary Carroll sent his mount up to tackle front-runner Jeremy's Girl two furlongs out and he soon had things in control. Joe Murphy's charge kicked on over a furlong out and stretched clear in the closing stages to post an eight-length success. The winner was gaining a quick follow-up success having landed his maiden at Navan last Wednesday. He was sent off 4/1 second choice in the market behind 3/1 favourite Rhiannon, who finished back in fourth. "He loved the conditions and he's improving as well," commented Carroll after the win.
