Raheenwood grabs victory under Fogarty

Mon 6th Sep 2010, 19:22

Raheenwood got up close home to snatch victory in the Ballyleague Handicap Hurdle at Roscommon.

Mikey Fogarty got a good tune from his mount in the closing stages to nab Prosperity Square who had travelled well to lead three out, and score by half a length. Sinbinned came in for strong support, backed from 14/1 into 5/1f, but could only finish seventh after coming under pressure at the fourth last.

"He's a right little horse and that's his third win of the summer. I was a bit apprehensive about the ground," said winning trainer Colin Kidd afterwards.

"We'll have a go at a good pot in Listowel now, either over two-and-a-half or three miles.

"He's only five and is still improving and progressing with time. To win three is good going and hopefully there is still a bit left."
