- Accompanist final Flat winner of 2009
Accompanist final Flat winner of 2009
Accompanist brought the curtain down on the 2009 Flat season when taking the finale at Dundalk tonight.
It was a double on the night for trainer Tom McCourt and apprentice Ben Curtis, who had struck earlier with Copper Dock
The Pivotal gelding finished with a flourish to peg back Night Spark in the closing stages and record a length victory.
"It would be good if they ran a few extra meetings here," said McCourt afterwards.
"He has promised to win a lot of times and has been disappointing. Maybe running him back quick suits him as he was third here last night.
"Ben gave him a great ride tonight. He's a very sound horse and we'll tip away with him and go over to Wolverhampton.
"He's had a good break during the summer and is in good spirits with himself at the moment."
