Berry doubles up on Meade's Prospect

Fri 12th Mar 2010, 21:25

Dark Prospect owned and trained by Noel Meade, made it two from two for Tu Va Stables when he landed the Barry Geraghty On Attheraces.com Handicap to give his rider, Fran Berry, a 48 and a half to one double (earlier successful on Bashir Biyoum Zain .

A winner here a fortnight back, this ex-Michael Jarvis-trained good-looking five-year-old son of Nayef, needed all of Berry's strength in the finish to hold-off Maximo by a neck.

Meade commented: "Fran said he idled in front but that it was snug enough. He got some sort of a rash over Christmas, he was nearly sold, but then they changed their minds. I don't know where he'll go next because I don't want to run him over hurdles until the start of next season."

Of Go Native Meade said: "He worked here on Tuesday and Paul (Carberry) said he couldn't ask for better. He is on the ferry over at this minute in time."
