New World order

The Kauto Star colours of Clive Smith were carried to success for the first time by an Irish based trainer at Ballinrobe today, when his Free World won the Water Towers Chase for trainer Arthur Moore.

Having just his second start in Ireland, Free World, under Davy Russell, led after three out before staying on strongly for a three and a half lengths win over Schelm

Afterwards Moore said “It’s great of Mr Smith to send Free World to us – I’ve known him for a long time and he had been intending to have a horse with us.”

“Free World is back on track after exiting at the first at Tipperary and there is a nice programme of conditions’ races here for him. He’ll probably go to Listowel next and is a lovely, straightforward horse to train.”
