Flynn hits 600 at Clonmel

Thu 6th May 2010, 18:28

Galianna created a piece of history for Pat Flynn when giving the Carrick-On-Suir handler his 600th winner on the racecourse in the 2010 Sepam Tipperary Perpetual Cup Handicap at Clonmel.

The 7/2 favourite turned the event into a procession, streaking clear from two furlongs out, under Gary Carroll, to score by 10-lengths from Admiral Barry

The race is a happy hunting ground for Flynn, who said afterwards that he believed it was a sixth success in the event for the yard.

"That's fantastic. We'll look at the amateur handicap at Galway for her and she's also a seriously good hurdles prospect," said Flynn.

"She's had two runs over hurdles and was running a big race on her second start only to fall. But I'm happy that she's still a novice.

"She's a well-bred mare, by Galileo, and is owned by Thomas Cahill, who has been a big supporter of mine for 27 years."
