The Vinnie Keane trained Amazon Warrior ran out the 10/1 winner of the opening [email protected] Maiden Hurdle (div 1) at Wexford this evening.

Ridden by John Cullen, the daughter of Indian Ridge moved to the front before the final flight before staying on well for a three and a half lengths win over Milano Bay

Afterwards Keane stated “she has been unlucky this year and that win was well overdue for her and I’m nearly more delighted for her owner (John O’Mahony, Thurles) than for myself!”

“Amazon Warrior ran well at Galway last year, finishing third in a handicap hurdle and might look at going there again for another handicap next.”
