Uncle Phil goes one better in Kilbeggan finale Uncle Phil sent favourite backers home happy when running out an impressive winner of the Add Kilbegganraces On Snapchat(Pro/Am) INH Flat Race at Kilbeggan. Second on his racecourse debut at this track last time, the Willie Mullins trained gelding justified short odds in the hands of Jody Townend. Although keen in the early stages of the contest, he settled better once getting to the front. From that point it was only a question of how far, as the son of Walk In The Park skipped clear on the bridle. Jody Townend, “He pulled quite hard and didn’t make it very easy for himself. He was entitled to win if he reproduced his run the last day. “He had the experience of a run today and it probably stood to him.” Additional reporting by Alan Magee
