Midnight Maestro asserts under Tom Kelly© Photo Healy Racing
Seven pound conditional Tom Kelly rode the third winner of his career when completing a Limerick double aboard Midnight Maestro (17/2) in the Ballyneety Handicap Chase.
Kelly had won for fellow County Kerry native Eoin McCarthy earlier aboard Cosmic Rock and he achieved a pretty convincing success on Midnight Maestro for J P McManus and Enda Bolger.
Kelly explained afterwards: "I rode my first winner on this horse in an opportunity chase at Leopardstown over Christmas.
"He can be a bit brave sometimes but jumps well and this was great to get - it's my third winner." Game Of War and Tiger Voice gave Midnight Maestro most to do, but the sweet-traveller went away from that pair from the back of the last to score by five and a half lengths and seven and a half lengths.
