Sean Says gets the verdict after a battle Sean Says nosed out Presenting Point at the end of a thrilling renewal of the Molony Cup Handicap Chase in Thurles. To all intents and purposes, Presenting Point appeared to have hit the line first in this extended three mile test, but the print revealed that Sean Says got up by the minimum margin. The pair jumped the last nicely clear of Beating The Odds and it was Sean Says who led narrowly touching down. Presenting Point (10/1) was nothing if not game under Darragh O'Keeffe, though, and was ridden into a fractional lead halfway up the run-in. He kept toughing it out but Sean Says (18/1) wouldn't go away and was produced on the line by Ian Power to grab the spoils. The well backed 11/4 favourite Beating The Odds was six and a half lengths adrift in third with another gap back to Minella Away (22/1). Trainer Rodger Sweeney said: "Looking at it outside, I thought it was tight. "She has a nice little card now and is a nice mare. Today's ground was grand, it was too wet for her in Tramore the last day, it was bottomless there. "I'll look for the easiest race for her now and Dundalk could be her next stop."
