Beggars makes breakthrough over fences Beggars Rock asserted late on to come out on top in a competitive beginners chase at Kilbeggan this evening. The Declan Queally-trained gelding had been placed on his three previous outings over fences and went to post a 6/1 shot tonight. Kevin Sexton produced his mount to challenge bypassing the last fence and he was in control on the run-in as he posted a two-and-a-quarter length success. “That was lovely. He had a couple of very good runs in chases, he was unlucky in Tramore when making a mistake at the last,” said Queally. “We bought him for small money and he’s been very profitable for the syndicate. That’s his second win and he’s been placed numerous times. I’m delighted with him, he’s a lovely horse. “It was a very competitive race. He’s marked where he’s marked now and might go up a couple of pounds for that. It will be interesting to see what he’d do in handicaps. “He seems to be better over fences for some reason, I don’t know why. Kevin gets on with the owners and he’s a grand horse to have. “We might have a crack at the Connacht National in Roscommon, that’s the one that comes to mind. “Any win on any night is good so we’re delighted.”
