Vintage ride from Treacy as Magee's mare strikes She's All Vintage powered home from the last to run out a convincing winner of the mares maiden hurdle at Sligo. The Patrick Magee-trained mare got in as second reserve in the two-and-a-half mile contest and made the most of her opportunity. 6/4 favourite Call The Fairies hit the front over the second last but was tackled turning for home by She's All Vintage as Ryan Treacy got a lovely run up the rail. The Beneficial mare hit the front on the run-in and stayed on strongly close home to record a five length success. The 2/1 winner had been backed from 8/1 this morning. She had kept on without threatening when eighth in a strong looking maiden hurdle at Punchestown on her return nine days ago. Magee, based in Shercock in Cavan, said:- "I thought she got a savage ride from Ryan. "I was a bit worried about the ground but she did it well. She's a Beneficial mare and she wants proper soft ground. "I only have my licence since January and that's my second winner." Treacy added:- "Paddy had her in great order coming here today. He was very confident. "She jumps well, travels well, it wasn't a hectic race but hopefully there'll be another day in her." (Quotes by Mark Nunan)
