Jazzy justifies short price

Jazzy Matty landed the odds in the 3-Y-O maiden hurdle at Fairyhouse when making all under Jack Kennedy.
The Gordon Elliott-trained gelding had been a promising second on his first outing for the yard at Navan last month and stepped forward today.
Kennedy bounced out in front on the 4/7 shot and he picked up well when tackled by Jackpot De Choisel going to the second last.
The Doctor Dino gelding always looked like the winner in the closing stages as he posted a three-parts-of-a-length victory over the fast finishing Komedy Kicks
“Jack said he wasn't doing a stroke the whole way up the straight and he pricked his ears,” said Elliott.
“He was bought to be a chaser, he's a half-brother to Delta Work. He's a fine big horse and he looks like a chaser too.
“I don't know where we go with him next. We'll keep it small.”
