No Happy ending for Pretty There was drama after the Opportunity Handicap Hurdle with Keith Donoghue weighing in light after the victory of Pretty Happy. The John Berry-trained charge had battled well to record a three-parts-of-a-length victory over Vast Consumption. The young claimer failed to draw the correct weight at the scales, however, leading to his disqualification. Berry had outlined plans for the first past the post previous to her losing the contest: - "She is what she is. She stays going. I don't know what he'll (handicapper) will give her." "There is a race in Tramore for her and eventually she'll jump a fence. Her mother won here as well so the family must like it here."
