Chapter Two not an easy read for bookies
Tempo Chapter Two and Jodi Townend beat She's Electric

Hammered from 5/6 overnight into a starting price of 2/7, Tempo Chapter Two duly did the business in the Copper Coast (Ladies Pro/Am) Flat Race.
Long-time clear leader She’s Electric (25/1) was reeled in by the winner a furlong out and, although the front-runner tried to rally, Jodi Townend didn’t have to get very serious as the odds were landed by a length.
The winner, completing a quick double for Willie Mullins after Recite A Prayer in the previous contest, was getting off the mark at the sixth time of asking having been touched off on his first start for the stable at Listowel.
"I actually got a fright for a second and thought am I after leaving her off, but once my lad started finding I was always fairly confident that we would get there. He finally got his day anyway and he deserved it.
"That's thirteen winners for the season and I won the (lady riders) title last year with nine. Everything is going good, I have no complaints."
