Any Bets rewards favourite backers

Sun 29th Mar 2009, 15:10

The Oliver McKiernan trained Any Bets was a well backed 5/2 winning favourite of the Toals 'Dial A Bet' 90321721 Novice Handicap Hurdle at Downpatrick today.

Ridden by Ruby Walsh, the winner raced prominently, hit the front at the second last before staying on well for a four lengths win over Marks Rusty

Afterwards McKiernan's assistant Adrian Keatley reported "Olver is racing at Leopardstown today ? Any Bets will probably go to Fairyhouse next for another handicap hurdle, he likes fastish ground."
