Trainer Ado McGuinness completed a Gowran double today as his Exquisite Acclaim (11/1) landed the Curragh To Curragh Charity Cycle On Saturday August 31st Handicap, to provide a boost for winning owners.
McGuinness was successful with his subsequently-claimed Cordouan in the opening claiming race and with the Adam Caffrey-partnered Exquisite Acclaim, got the run of the green, scoring in a three-way photo-finish, beating I Am Superman by a short-head with Bellaphina finishing a neck further behind.
McGuinness reported “the boys have good fun with Exquisite Acclaim and fair play to Tom O'Connor. He has horses with Henry (De Bromhead) as well and it's great to get a winner for them. I think his mother isn't well so that will be a bit of a tonic for him and I wish her well.”
He added “he battled well, I think the horse on the inside (Bellaphina) helped him along and he's a tough ole soul.
“We were going to go to Leopardstown but I thought this track, a front-runners track, would suit him well and the horse needs fast ground. Adam know him well.”
