Kiely/McManus Complete Double in Bumper The betting suggested that the bumper was a match between Taking Stock and Rinceoir Rua with good word too for Presenting Massey and these three had it to themselves from some way out with the former prevailing by one and a quarter lengths under Padraig Roche, to bring up a double for trainer John Kiely and owner J P McManus. At least 9/4 in the morning into 5/4, Taking Stock was still headed in the betting by Willie Mullins' Rinceoir Rua, at evens, but it was Presenting Massey (10s in the morning into 7s) that presented him with the greatest challenge, the final furlong seeing the winning Flemensfirth gelding prove the stronger. Kiely said: "He might have his holidays now. He is a horse for next year and I look forward to him." (EM)
