Mountain Coral from the Frank Oakes stable made it his 4th win in a row and sixth handicap win in seven starts when winning The Dubai Duty Free Finest Surprise Scurry Premier Handicap under regular jockey Niall McCullagh.
Winning trainer Oakes said afterwards, “He’s a smashing horse. He had terrible problems as a young horse we weren’t sure if we had a string halt or a wobbler. Aine Corcoran from Naas is a japanese shiatsu therapist and she treats him everytime he runs and she’s done a great job with him. "
Oakes also stated, "Barry Cash my son-in-law has played a big part in the training of this lad. We’re all just delighted he’s won again for us and we will probably run him in the Rockingham next.”
