Lucky's great start in jumping arena Owner Roger Brookhouse and trainer Henry de Bromhead could hardly have asked for any more from their Twobeelucky as the Tobougg gelding made a stylish start over flights in the Connaughton Auctioneer's 10th Anniversary Maiden Hurdle at Roscommon. The easy to back four-year-old (9/2) led and disputed, and he took over in front after the fifth. Ridden to assert before the last, Twobeelucky kept on well to put seven lengths between himself and the market-leading Super Bowl. "Henry spotted this race (for four-year-old's that have not won a race) a long time ago, and I think he'll improve," disclosed winning rider Andrew Lynch. "He was a fairly high class horse on the Flat without winning, and hopefully that will do his confidence the power of good." The Stewards interviewed D.G. Hogan, trainer, regarding the vaccinations recorded in the passport for I'm Serious, in this race. Evidence was heard from the trainer and also from Ms. Joan Taylor, M.R.C.V.S., Turf Club Veterinary Officer and Ms. Carol Murphy, Turf Club Veterinary Assistant. Having considered all the evidence, the Stewards ordered the withdrawal of I'm Serious and referred the matter to the CEO of The Turf Club for further investigation. (AM & EM)
