Shecouldbeanything clears the final flight

Gordon Elliott's Shecouldbeanything won her second Listed race in-a-row when winning a battle with Walk With Paul in the Easyclean Tourist Attraction Mares Hurdle in Killarney.
This extended two-mile contest looked a stiff task for her on paper as she had a stone to find on ratings with stablemate Party Central and Anna Bunina yet raced off level weights against them, however, she is clearly a progressive mare.
The aforementioned pair clear underperformed, but Shecouldbeanything more than ran her race.
A patiently-ridden Walk With Paul challenged her and, indeed, headed her before the last but Shecouldbeanything rallied to lead in jumping it. She was strong on the run-in as she saw off that rival by a length at 4/1.
Winning jockey Donagh Meyler said: “She did it well and is a hardy bit of stuff. I’m very grateful to be put up on her.
“She was headed after the second last but the harder it was the tougher she dug in. She stuck out her head and should have a bright future.”
