Macville bolts up at Tipp

Sun 3rd Oct 2010, 17:50

Macville ran out a well-backed winner of the Woodlands Hotel Adare Handicap Hurdle at Tipperary, prevailing in style under Paul Townend.

Pat Neville 's charge travelled well through this two and a half miler, she led before the last before going on to easily beat Tally Em Up by seven lengths.

Neville, who saddled a point-to-point winner at Rathcannon last Sunday, said: "She is a very good mare. We'll probably go for something similar again but she'll jump a fence shortly. She owes me that, her sire busted my back (crushed vertebrae) with a kick when her dam was being covered.

"She had a great run in Listowel last time. My horses were sick in the spring time. I've got six in training for the winter and a couple for point-to-points."
