Concorde makes winning start over jumps Electric Concorde made a winning debut over jumps in the John J Galvin Maiden Hurdle at Listowel. Bryan Cooper was always prominent on the 10/11 favourite who had been as short as 4/7 in the morning. Jim Culloty's charge hit the front before the second last and responded well when tackled by Kaiser Black. The King's Theatre gelding stayed on well on the run-in as Tinos Tank ran on from the back to get within a length. Electric Concorde had also won a bumper at the Galway festival for connections. "It's great to have winners at Listowel and he also won at Galway so has done his job for the summer and I hope he has a bright future,” said Culloty. "He had done plenty schooling and wants better ground." (Quotes by Thomas Weekes)
