Carberry Forces the issue

Fri 20th May 2011, 19:11

Paul Carberry proved to be a ‘super-sub’ in the Bar One Racing Handicap at Downpatrick this evening, replacing Bryan Cooper on the Robbie Hennessy trained winner Magnetic Force

Magnetic Force moved to the front at the final fence and was all out late on to defeat Point The Toes

Jockey Bryan Cooper was due to ride the gelding but failed to recover sufficiently from a fall at Tipperary yesterday.

Afterwards Hennessy stated “blinkers helped Magnetic Force today but needs someone as strong as Paul Carberry. That’s his class of race and he’s a summer horse.”
