Review CLONMEL 2ND APR David Broad recorded his first double with saddling Striking Sound and Lorraine's Pride to score at the cumulative odds of 134/1.Striking Sound took the ten furlongs handicap in fine style, heading Dusseldorf off the home bend in the hands of dual champion apprentice Tadhg O'Shea to score by four and a half lengths.Robbie Colgan also struck for home at the same point aboard Lorraine's Pride in the maiden hurdle, and the seven-year-old had enough in reserve to hold off the well-backed Daniels Hymn by half a length. 'I have 25 in training at the moment, although a lot of them are young horses. We had a point-to-point winner on Sunday, and they seem to be starting to fire now,' said Broad, who has been training at Kilcock for just over two years.The Irish Stablestaff Association abandoned the parade ring as a protest demonstration prior to the mile and a half maiden in order to highlight the poor standard of catering at certain racecourses including Clonmel. The pre-parade ring was used instead of the main parade ring, and ISA chairman Dan Kirwan explained, 'There is not proper Health and Safety requirements in stable yards, although the facilities have been improved here today.'Kirwan will meet the newly appointed chief executive of the Association of Irish Racecourses, Paddy Walsh, today in an effort to resolve the problems.Michael Hourigan confirmed that Beef Or Salmon will revert to the Flat at the Curragh on Sunday after sending out Much Birch to land the handicap chase. 'Beef Or Salmon is fit and well. Michael Kinane will ride him at the Curragh, which will be a prep race for the Power Gold Cup at Fairyhouse.'Crusset could make a quick reappearance at Tramore on Sunday after taking the mile and a half maiden. Seamus Heffernan sent the dual purpose gelding to the front inside the final furlong to beat Ciara's Delight by a length, and trainer Tony Mullins commented afterwards, 'That augurs well for Take Flite at Liverpool, and this horse may go to Tramore on Sunday for a handicap hurdle. I will school him over fences soon.' Alan Magee
