Kara Loca delights Winters
Kara Loca wins as Andrew Lynch departs from Missyspet

The last fence in Fairyhouse caught out Missyspet as she unseated Andrew Lynch when disputing the lead with Kara Loca who was left clear to win the concluding mares' beginners' chase.
The pair looked to have the race at their mercy as they had moved a couple of lengths clear of Miss Speedy coming to the last.
Kara Loca (9/2) met it well but 11/10 favourite Missyspet ploughed through it and Lynch was sent over her head into orbit.
Kara Loca and Johnny Burke strode away and put six and a half lengths on Miss Speedy who came through for second at 20/1.
Handler Mick Winters said: “Jonathan thought it was nip and tuck at the last but knew she'd keep galloping to the line.
“She was always going to win a beginners' chase. The small fields suit as she has more time to look at her fences.”
