Printing Copper a very well-bred daughter of Blueprint, gained the second success of her career to add to a point-to-point win when she battled tenaciously to see off all challengers in the Wexford Racecourse Supporters Club Mares Hurdle under Donal MacAuley.

An all Co. Cork success, MacAuley is from the Rebel county and owner/breeder/trainer, Donal Coffey is from near Midleton, the 10/1 chance achieved the win leading approaching two out and then staying on best to beat Assigh Pearl by a length.

Coffey said afterwards: "Her mother (Copper Supreme) won here in 1998 on her debut. Her half-brother is Copper Bleu, who finished fourth in the Supreme Novices this year, second at Aintree and won at Punchestown. He is with Philip Hobbs. This mare will go chasing eventually."
