Sequoiaspirit in fine fettle for Hackett & Sheridan Three and three quarter lengths was the winning margin when Sequoiaspirit made a winning reappearance at Gowran Park earlier this month and six-year-old followed up with another decisive victory in the concluding 1m4f handicap at Roscommon. Joey Sheridan was again in the plate for Toomevara handler Ray Hackett and, having bided his time in mid-division, switched his mount towards the inner inside the final quarter mile before launching his challenge. The six-year-old picked up smartly to lead 150 yards out and had three and a quarter lengths to spare this time with Luminous Light filling the runner-up berth. “He's in good form, he just barely got away with the ground and wouldn't want it a lot quicker,” said Hackett. “He was going as hard as he was able early on, they made it a good test and then started to die in front of him and he was able to get there. “He'll probably going jumping hurdles now if the ground gets any quicker.” Quotes from Gary Carson
