McNiff brothers strike at Downpatrick

Sun 28th Mar 2010, 15:43

Ilikeyou followed up on her recent win at Downpatrick after she came home in front of the Crossgar Handicap Hurdle in the hands of Luke McNiff.

McNiff was in front early on the Lord Americo filly, the pair were briefly headed before the second last but were soon left clear after Supreme All Star and Keith Donoghue crashed out at the second last.

The 11/4 favourite kept on gamely between the last two flights to record a thirtheen length victory over Coliseum

Winning trainer Mark McNiff said afterwards: "We will probably come back here again for something similiar. She's two stone better around here than anywhere else."

"We were going to get her wind done but decided to come here instead, so we'll probably leave it for another while now especially if she keeps winning."
