Over okay - Sean McDermott and She Be Fine at Wexford© Photo Healy Racing
It was something of a case of more of the same in race two at Wexford with a Gigginstown House Stud-owned favourite defeated as another mare down near the bottom of the card, in this case She Be Fine prevailed in the Hen & Stag Parties At Wexford Racecourse Maiden Hurdle.
Whilst Gigginstown's Easter Hunt ran second to Posh Frock in the opener, their representative in the second, Behemoth a pace-setter, faded into fourth as She Be Fine, a welcome winner for trainer Ger Mullins and jockey Sean McDermott, sauntered home to a convincing twelve length victory from Boru Boy
Mullins stated: "On her run at Clonmel (fell at the last when closing) I thought she had a right chance and it was just a matter of getting her confidence back.
"She is out of a half-sister to Beef Or Salmon and she is a nice broodmare in the making.
"Hopefully she will win a few more. She stays well and she will jump a fence in time. She has had her problems though."
P.T. Enright, rider of Bar Stool Bob trained by Robert Tyner, reported to the Clerk of Scales that his mount finished lame.
A.E. Lynch, rider of Boru Boy trained by G. Murphy, reported to the Clerk of Scales that his saddle slipped immediately after the start.
