Casey finally delivers - in style

Wed 14th Jul 2010, 20:21

His former trainers Colin Bowe and Colm Murphy never hid their regard for Casey Top and the former point-to-pointer, now with Leonard Whitmore, put up the best performance of his career to bolt-up in the Larkin's Pub & Restaurant Milltown Handicap Hurdle at Killarney.

Coming into this event as a maiden under rules, Casey Top with Bryan Cooper up, made his race winning move between the third and second last hurdle and he pinged the last on the way to a five length victory over Ronan O'Gara's Your Busy

Casey Top is owned by his breeders, the Casey Brothers Syndicate, from Gorey in County Wexford. The winning son of Topanoora, an 8/1 chance, is now a possibility for Galway.

Meanwhile for local 7Ib claimer Cooper this was a second winner at Killarney.
