Harley back in the winner's enclosure
Martin Harley who has been plagued with back trouble after breaking two vertabrae two seasons ago made a welcome return to the winner's enclosure after Sky Mystic landed Division Two of the Derrinstown Stud Apprentice Handicap.
The Jim Bolger trained filly was in front from over a furlong and half out and kept on well to hold off the late challenge of Accompanist close home.
Ger Flynn assistant to the winning trainer said afterwards: "She's a very consistent filly. We'll probably go for something similiar, she probably a bit unlucky the last day."
"It's great for Martin to be back in the winners enclosure after his injury."
"The filly is owned by Mr Bolger's daughter Fiona, she had a runner in the previous race but she was virtually pulled up. Martin said she just didn't handle the track."
