"He was up there all the way and jumped for fun. The hill suited him - he hadn't enough of hill the last day!," commented Aengus King after watching his Capture The Drama land the Corrib Food Products Handicap Chase at Galway.
King's Dushyantor gelding won his third race on the track in this extended two and three quarter miler, stepping up on a Downpatrick second placing from seventeen days back.
Andrew Ring was in the plate on the former point-to-point scorer and the 7/1 shot asserted away inside the final furlong to beat Phone Booth by four and three parts of a length.
"He'll go for a similar handicap next on a galloping track," added King.
"He is one of two horses I have - the other one is Change The Rules."
M.A. Enright, rider of Le Feu Garde trained by Michael J. McDonagh, reported to the Clerk of Scales that his mount hung badly.
P.D. Kennedy, rider of The Informer trained by Emmet Michael Butterly, reported to the Stewards' Secretaries that his mount hung left and jumped left throughout,before staying on past beaten horses.
