Durcan buys well as Kiely gets win into Forest for the Gleesons

Forest View (7/2 into 3/1) quickened best in the final quarter mile to win the Budweiser Maiden at Roscommon for John Kiely and Oisin Orr.

Odds-on favourite Jerandme tried to make all back in trip, but he couldn’t match the Liam Gleeson-owned Forest View from over a furlong out.

At the line the successful daughter of Teofilo had two and three parts of a length in hand over Jerandme. Convara was half a length back in third.

“She has a nice pedigree but took a little while to come to hand. We gave her a break and came here fresh," disclosed Kiely.

“Ted Durcan bought her for them (the Gleeson’s) and he picked a nice one. She might go to Galway now.”
