Game proves tough to complete double for connections What's Your Game completed a double for Adrian Murray, AMO Racing Limited and Giselle De Aguiar, as he fought off the effort of Mocking in the Buy Tickets Online And Save Handicap. Bought for 125,000 pounds as a yearling and twice a runner-up at Dundalk, the Waldgeist chestnut was sent off a 4/1 chance this afternoon. Settled behind the leaders by Colin Keane, the 75-rated victor took closer order approaching the straight and improved to dispute the lead with over two-furlongs to go. Soon engaged in a tussle with the aforementioned Mocking (5/2 favourite), he gained the upper hand inside the final furlong and was half-a-length in front at the line. Ben Coen was aboard the runner-up for Johnny Murtagh, while there was a seven-length gap back to Birdie Time (9/1) in third. "He had a couple of nice runs on the all-weather and we felt stepping up to a mile and a half would be a big plus. He saw it out really well," Ryan McElligott, representing AMO Racing, reflected. "He has a good attitude and having won a competitive three-year-old handicap, you would be thinking of something nicer next. "There is a nice three-year-old handicap next month but it's over ten (furlongs) so he'd be coming back in trip, although it is in Navan. Long term, he is a likely horse for Premier Handicaps over a mile and a half." STEWARDS REPORTS * D.
