Night comes good over fences for Motherway Goodnightngodbless was left to come home an easy winner of the three-mile-one handicap chase at Wexford. The James Motherway-trained mare went to post a 17/2 shot in the race and was held up in mid-division by Charlie O'Dwyer. She took closer order running down the hill and was driven to challenge two from home. The Yeats mare soon led and was left with a commanding advantage at the final fence when Hardy Bloke blundered away it's rider. Goodnightngodbless went on to record a cosy 10-length success over Walking The Walk. Motherway said: "She has been frustrating to say the least. She has hit the crossbar on several occasions and I thought that we were struggling with her of late. “She is always a bit sluggish away and Charlie said it took her about four or five fences to warm up. He said she was a bit on her head early, but once she settled into it she was fine. “She jumped great in the middle part of the race and probably had a bit of a look at the last when in front. She was probably going to win anyway. “She was coming at them around the home bend and she loves coming passed horses. She stays forever, that's the one thing she does, she stays and stays. “Races over three-mile-one are hard to find but they suit her down to the ground. She has three won now and I'll talk to Frank (Berry) but she is again on Thursday at Limerick. “It's over three-mile-one again, I just put her in, in case anything went wrong today. She is a grand one to have and it's good to get a winner for JP (McManus) who is a great supporter." (Quotes by Donal Murphy)
