Peculiar shows 'em the way at Galway again Most Peculiar pleased his connections and no doubt those that were 'on' the 9/10 shot no end, with his success in the Easyfix Rubber Products Novice Hurdle at Galway. A winner here at the Festival over Draco, that rival again today loomed up to throw down the challenge to Most Peculiar, who'd led with a circuit to race, at the second last flight. However Draco flicked through that penultimate obstacle and when he hit the last it was game over as the Paul Townend-ridden winner went on to prevail by four lengths. Townend reported on the Willie Mullins-trained and OMG Partnership-owned victor: "He jumped super and I kept it simple. "He battled here well at the Festival and the two mile two trip today probably suited him better. I thought he had a bit up his sleeve today as well. He was jumping so well today I just left him stride on." (DM & EM)
