Morgan completes 577/1 cross meeting double

At a Navan meeting where finding winners was challenging at times, Better Than Heaven was another to upset the odds when taking division one of the Rathkenny Handicap Hurdle at 33/1. Wed 16th Jun

After race at Navan Wed, 16th Jun, 2021 (1st)

It was his first time in a handicap. He didn't like the soft ground the last day but on the better ground today he travelled and jumped away. I'd say it was a very bad race. I don't think it will be one you'll be thinking about in a year's time with loads of form horses coming out of it but the job is done.
