Review killarney 17th May
Classy hurdler Mossey Joe made the transition back to fences with ease as he demolished useful opposition in the feature race at Killarney.
Sent off the 4-5 favourite for the O'Keeffe, O'Shea, O'Connor Solicitors Novice Chase, the winning point-to-point and hunter chaser looked at ease throughout the contest under Barry Geraghty.
Now with Declan McNamara, the eight-year-old didn't put in the best leap at the third-last but ambled into the lead before the next and cruised clear to beat Ainama by 14 lengths.
Sounds Of Jupiter looked to have the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Beginners Chase in the bag when jumping the last in the lead, but Charles Byrnes' five-year-old went badly wrong on the run-in.
Davy Russell had to pull him up as Tom Doyle swept past on the Pat Flavin-trained Big Dano (28-1), who was originally a reserve. Sounds Of Jupiter reportedly collapsed and died.< Harold's Cross (5-1 joint-favourite) won for the first time in 12 attempts when he put up a commanding performance under a big weight in the Killarney Outlook Handicap Chase.
Never far off the pace, the Christy Roche-trained six-year-old made smooth progress and forged clear going to the last before winning by an untroubled 10 lengths in the hands of Alan Crowe.
The betting suggested Betrothed and Gatamalata would dominate the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Median Auction Maiden, but neither could strike a blow.< Kate Greenaway led a quarter of a mile out but was immediately tackled by Further Detail and Andy Oliver's 8-1 shot got the better of their duel by half a length under Pat Smullen.
Keagan Latham delivered Trans City with a telling run down the outside to grab the Next Racing Festival July 11th To 14th Handicap by a length and a quarter from favourite Spin Of A Coin
Ger Lyons' charge (9-2) kept well clear of trouble, but there was a fair amount of scrimmaging on the inside and it wasn't the place to be.
