Review tramore 12th Aug

< Haleniya put a poor performance behind her as she ran out a gutsy winner of the Tramore Races On Facebook Maiden to improve John Oxx's impressive record at the track.

The Azamour filly, running in the colours of the Aga Khan, showed promise in third on her Gowran debut a month ago but failed to build on that when well beaten at Down Royal.

It was different this time as the 4-1 shot hit the front in the final two furlongs and dug deep for Ben Curtis to hold the late surge of Templeton by a short head.

Oxx and Curtis doubled up when Missy O'Gwaun (9-2) broke her duck with a convincing successs in the www.thetote.com Handicap, running on strongly to beat Llew Law by three and a half lengths.

There was a nasty incident when Princess Tuptin slipped up and brought down Midador < Benefit Of Porter was well beaten by Clarach when they were first and second over hurdles at Galway, but comprehensively turned round the form on the level in the BBQ Evening At Tramore Races Ladies Maiden.

Helen Mooney looked to be going best entering the final quarter-mile and got a willing response from Pat Sinnott's seven-year-old (13-8), who quickened away to beat the favourite by seven lengths.< Hyden was running in sprints last season and had never tackled a trip as far as a mile and a half, but the five-year-old led all the way and skipped round the turns to take the W & T Supporters Club Handicap.

Seamie Heffernan had a 10-length lead in mid-race and the Tom Gibney-trained 20-1 shot kept going to beat Dusty Trail who never reached a threatening position, by four and a half lengths.

Michael Hogan's Mountain Heather (14-1) bounced back to form in the Ladbrokes (Mares) Handicap Hurdle, emerging from the mist to lead going to the last under Andrew McNamara for a two-and-a-half-length victory.
