Carberry scores again on Fasolo

Mon 3rd Jan 2011, 16:00

Fasolo proved easy to back in the concluding bumper at Cork but did the business under Nina Carberry.

Charlie Swan 's charge made a promising debut when second at Down Royal last Thursday and turned out again quickly to go one better.

Carberry drove her mount (2/1 to 3/1) into the lead a furlong-and-a-half from home and the Monsun gelding stuck on well in the closing stages to beat 9/4 favourite Really Unique by a length-and-a-half.

It was a fourth winner in four days for Carberry, who again showed her worth in amateur events.

"I took a chance running him back so quickly but you have to take a chance in life!," said Swan afterwards.

"It didn't look the hottest of races and he's a tough horse so that's why I ran him so quick. He'll have a bit of a break now."
