Being in-foal to Fame And Glory has coincided with an upturn in Knockcroghery #8217;s fortunes, as she justified favouritism at Bellewstown.
She won over a mile and six at Tipperary last week and over the same distance this evening Luke Dempsey guided her home by a length and a quarter from Donatis Comet
Dempsey reeled in Donatis Comet and Conor Hoban and hit the front inside the final 100 yards to the cheers of backers of the 11/8 favourite.
John Nicholson trains the six-year-old mare and he said: “We’ll have to go to Galway and I may put out her ride in the amateur handicap to tender! I’ll hardly be short of offers.
“She’s in a hurdle race at Limerick on Sunday. We’ll see how she is in the morning, but it may be asking a bit much.
“She’s in foal to Fame And Glory. She’s only barely a month in foal so there’s plenty of time to race yet.
“Luke is a grand lad and gave her a good ride.”
Luke Dempsey is attached to Johnny Murtagh’s stable and was riding his third winner of the season.
