Walsh and O'Grady double up with Out Now

Thu 10th Nov 2011, 15:45

Ruby Walsh completed a quick double when Out Now claimed the Prior Park Service Station Handicap Chase at Clonmel.

After the dramatic victory of Blazing Tempo in the previous contest Walsh had things rather more straight forward this time.

The 4/1 shot took up the running from Mirador Del Conde five from home and scooted clear from the second last.

The Muroto gelding powered home for a nine-and-a-half length success over that rival, who just held on for second.

It was also a double for trainer Edward O'Grady, following on from the feature race victory of Tranquil Sea

Winning owner Nelius Hayes also owns Tranquil Sea in partnership with Dermot Cox..

"I think that's the first double they have had and Tranquil Sea could run in Nelius' colours next time," said O'Grady

"This horse had been disappointing but he seemed to get it right there. Hopefully he can build on that. Things just worked out in the end."
