After a good run when second to Gordon Elliott’s newcomer Last Golden Ticket at Sligo in July, Sweettowatch (9/2) went one place better under Lisa O’Neill in the concluding Woods Financial Services (Ladies Pro/Am) INH Flat Race.
The five-year-old daughter of Fracas scored by a length and a quarter from Tecumseh Sherman (5/1), with Memories Remain (6/1) a further two and three quarter lengths away in third.
The front-running 5/4 favourite Tudors Glory came home in fifth spot. The winning trainer Nigel Slevin has had quite a profitable summer with the likes of Takeachancejimmy and Whenurgoodurgood and he remarked: “We have her entered in the sales and she has a good pedigree so we needed her to draw.
“You look a hero now that she's won but if she didn't win I would have looked a fool.
“I always had faith in her because her work has always been very good.
“She's going to go to the sales now so it's job done and we'll try and get a few quid for her now.”
