Bad claims deserved first win Not Too Real Bad stuck on well to gain a deserved win in the three-year-old handicap at Dundalk. The Tom Mullins-trained filly was produced to gain a narrow lead passing the furlong marker by Jack Cleary. She kept on well inside the final furlong to hold the renewed challenge of Pub Talk by half a length. Not Too Real Bad, a daughter of Exceed And Excel, had been placed in three nurseries at the venue towards the end of last year. She was dropping back to five furlongs today and Cleary felt that made a difference:- "Yes, definitely, it suited her anyway. "The plan was to be forward on her, but she broke a bit sluggish and the others came around me so I just had to sit on her. It suited her in the end. "I was kind of just moseying away and turned in and thought I had a real nice chance. When I went for her, she picked up nicely. "The way she has finished out there today, I'd have no doubt there would be more in her." (Quotes by Michael Graham)
