Warren Beach made all to complete a hat-trick for Ken Condon © Photo Healy Racing
Warren Beach easily landed the hat-trick when making all to win the Care At Home Services Race at Naas.
As per usual, Billy Lee had the Aclaim gelding in front from flagfall and the pair never saw another rival. Now unbeaten in three starts since being fitted with blinkers, the three-year-old looks set for a step up in class. Corporal Violette briefly looked like mounting a challenge early in the straight but Billy Lee was merely giving his horse a breather and once he pushed the button Warren Beach went away to win easily.
“He did that well, he's improving and the blinkers have helped him concentrate,” said Lee.
“He was a bit slow away again but the small field helped. I kept him wide early so he could find his feet, I didn't want to be racing too early.
“He got into a nice rhythm, I picked him up and he keeps galloping. He gets the seven well and he'll get a mile.
“He's improving and it was a good performance today, he beat some nice horses there.”
