Rossberry survives last fence blunder

Mon 25th May 2009, 19:19

The Francis Flood trained Rossberry Lad survived a bad mistake at the final fence to take the Mulholland Bookmakers Handicap Chase at Ballinrobe.

The gelding was bred by the late Roger Ryan and ridden today by Mark Walsh.

Trainer's son and namesake, Francis Flood, said: "we were worried about the ground. It was an ordinary race and I think the first two home got the run of it. They didn't go much of a galop and we were fortunate to get away with the mistake at the last."
