Kerry National hero wins again at Listowel Your Busy ran out an easy winner of the John J. Galvin Handicap Hurdle scoring under Ruby Walsh for owner/trainer James Nash. Last year's Kerry National winner was available at 11/2 last night, opening on-course at 4's before going off the 7/2 second favourite. Just beaten at Cork and Aintree earlier in the year he finished fourth on his last outing at Killarney over fences. Back over flights today he was prominent throughout. Miley Shah went clear after the fourth last but the winner reeled him in before the straight and hit the front on the approach to two out. He stretched clear before the last and kept on well on the run-in to score easily by eleven lengths. Miley Shah finished second under Mikey Fogarty for Joe Kenny at 10/1 while A Decent Excuse was a further length and a half back in third under Jonathan Burke for Eugene O'Sullivan. Malt Gem was sent off the 10/3 favourite under Andrew Lynch for Mary Louise Hallahan but he disappointingly pulled up. James Nash said afterwards: "He got away with the ground but was one of the ones certain to stay. For the money it was a weak race but I'm delighted to win again with him. "I'll freshen up him now and while he probably isn't entitled to run in the Galway Plate he'll go there next and end up back here for the Kerry National again. "Tom Doran rides him out every day at home and a lot of the credit goes to him as he is still a handful every morning. He's like a four year old, still runs in ear plugs and all the gear and I just hope he keeps his enthusiasm!" Additional reporting by Thomas Weekes
