Perfect present for Cashman

Liam Cashman who celebrated his birthday today received the perfect present when his son Paul carried his colours to victory when Swift Lord landed the Ballydugan Flat Race by a cosy four and a half lengths.

Winning rider and trainer Cashman said afterwards: “He’s a very good horse and as good as one I’ve had in a long time.”

“He only finished sixth the last day in Listowel but he takes a run to get himself right. He loves the quick ground and I was a bit afraid of the track.”

“He’s entered in the November sales at Cheltenham so we’ll see what happens.”
