Geraghty pounces late on Mahrajaan

Sun 22nd Aug 2010, 17:59

Mahrajaan pounced on the run-in to land the concluding Corrib Oil Handicap Chase at Ballinrobe.

The winning run of favourites on the card was ended in the final contest with Carleton Place (9/4f) crashing out at the second last when looking beaten. Alabama Banjo had taken over before the penultimate fence but couldn't hold the late surge of Mahrajaan on the run-in as he finished to good effect, under Barry Geraghty, for a three-length victory.

"He was due one. He got his ground today and had a good man on board," said trainer Robbie Burns.

"I was nervous I might have left him a bit short of work. I don't have anything in mind for him at the minute."
