Molly delights urban & rural boys
Molly's Boy certainly didn't go unbacked for the featured ITBA & Gain Horse Feeds Encourage Breeders To Go Racing Handicap Hurdle and he justified the confidence of those that backed him from 8/1 this morning into 11/2, but only just, under Andrew Lynch at Gowran.
Lynch gave Eddie Cawley's charge a patient ride, eventually getting to the front on the outer at the last. The nine-year-old son of Parthian Springs idled on the run-in but in fairness to him he found enough to fend off Brownpolish by a neck.
Cawley commented: "He'll go chasing after this as the handicapper has the better end of him over hurdles. He could go back for a hurdle though on better ground.
"He was stopping in front and he is a bridle horse really."
Paul Coyle heads up the winning owners, the Urban & Rural Boys Syndicate, a grouping from Meath and Dublin. They have had to be patient with Molly's Boy, who first appeared in point-to-points back in 2006. He was off from the August of that year until the end of December 2008 and he won his first race this February.
