- Double for Foley on an evening to remember
Double for Foley on an evening to remember
Why But Why and Lovers Peace (eventually finished well for fourth) may have been carried off the home turn in the "Tote Trifecta Rollover" Handicap by Cash Or Casualty but it didn't stop the former from prevailing under Shane 'Dusty' Foley. The Graiguenamanagh, County Kilkenny 3Ib claimer (lost his claim in the previous race) was completing a 37 and a half to one double having half-an-hour earlier scored aboard Little Arrows
On the Jessica Harrington-trained and Johnny Harrington-owned Why But Why, Foley again displayed plenty of power to drive him home a one and three parts of a length winner from the first time blinkered Fairylike
Mrs Harrington said: "He went the longest way around in the end but he still won well and I'm delighted.
"He'll go for another handicap now and end up three-year-old hurdling.
"He was only meant to be a sprinter but I got the distances all wrong and I'd say he'd go a mile and a half."
Why But Why was bought as a two-year-old at the Goresbridge Flat Breeze-Up 2010 Sale for 23,000 Euros.
