Rog stumble hands it to Treat at Gowran

Treat Yourself (nearside) battles it out with Call Rog at Gowran

After completing a Gowran double on Treat Yourself in the Scraggs Alley Carlow Novice Handicap Hurdle, Davy Russell summed things up well when saying: "The jump at the last helped. The other horse stumbling also helped but he kept going well on the run-in."

The other horse in this scenario was the well-backed Call Rog. The issue was very much in the 'melting-pot' at the last when Call Rog got it 'wrong' and a bad stumble a stride or two later finally put paid to his chance.

Treat Yourself is owned by Liam Breslin and trained by Arthur Moore and he was bringing-up a course and distance double having triumphed at Gowran to break his maiden 19 days back.

Of course Russell had gotten on the score-sheet half-an-hour earlier courtesy of the impressive Umpact. (TW & EM)

That’s certainly a helpful statistic for those observers who perceive Ireland to be little more than a Coolmore playground. Of course, whether or not [...]
