McGuinness wins finale with expensive breezer Perfect Judgement (18/5) bounced back from being the Birdcatcher Nursery beaten-favourite last October to gaining a first success today, landing Dundalk's Join Us On Instagram @dundalk_stadium Race for trainer Ado McGuinness and jockey Cian MacRedmond. Tracking the leaders, the son of Inns Of Court went in pursuit of leader Mint Man with two furlongs to race, and inside the final furlong got the better of that battle, scoring by a neck. McGuinness later said “he ran in a really good maiden in Naas during the summer and we thought he was a 'sure thing' the next time but got drawn up the wrong side up the Curragh and he has been disappointing. "He ran well in Cork in a winners' race, we then put him into winners' company and there were also good horses with him. He disappointed in the Birdcatcher but the ground was horrible and I put it down to the ground. Every other race he has run in, he has been very consistent. "He is entered in the sales next month in Tattersalls or will be sold before then - he would be an ideal horse for the Middle East. "He was a breeze-up purchase (for €100,000) last year, he wasn't cheap - I think he was one of our most expensive breeze-up horses. We bought six breezers and he is now the sixth to win. "The pressure is now on for two months time when we are back again." Quotes from Michael Graham
