Grand purchase wins third race

Bargain purchase Well Tuned registered a third career win in the Limerick's Live 95fm Mares Beginners Chase at Limerick today, scoring for trainer John Nicholson and jockey Mark Enright.

The daughter of Flemensfirth was completing the full set of bumper, hurdle and chase wins and afterwards Nicholson revealed "she has always been a nice good filly and has now finished in the prizemoney in 20 of her 33 starts. I bought her for a grand and if it'd be nice if I could get them all like her!

"She couldn't handle the bends at Killarney the last day.

"I wouldn't rule out running her on the flat but she'll probably go for a winners bumper next and work on from there. She loves that ground."

Winning rider Mark Enright also came in for praise from the trainer who added "I gave Mark his first jumps winner a few years ago and he has been very lucky and local for me."
