Dumhach Thra claims Sizing Malbay© Photo Healy Racing
Dumhach Thra went one better on his return to Galway when claiming the angloprinters.ie Handicap Hurdle for mother and son team Mags and Danny Mullins.
The Annette Mee-owned gelding had chased home cosy winner Ilikedwayurthinkin at the festival early last month and was a strongly supported 9/4 favourite today (6/1 this morning).
He was produced to challenge turning for home and joined Sizing Malbay over the last in the two-mile contest.
The Milan gelding found plenty on the run-in to go on and record a three-and-three-quarter length win.
Mags Mullins said:- "He stayed at it up the hill and is a tough horse. Michael and Pierce (Mee) love Galway and its great to have a winner for them at Galway.
"He is improving the whole time and Milan is a good solid sire. I think he can go up in trip and a little better ground might suit him better also."
