Grapevine Sally another for bookmakers

Edward O'Grady's Grapevine Sally won the Bank Of Ireland Novice Chase at Tralee today, helping to further stuff bookmakers' satchels.

The opening four races were won by two 25/1 shots, a 10/1 and 7/1 winner while numerous well backed horse were overturned, including Grapevine Sally's immediate victim, Artiste Bay (3/1 - 2/1f).

Trainer Edward O'Grady was absent but Grapevine Sally's rider and O'Grady's stable jockey Andrew McNamara did state "the race turned into a sprint which suited Grapevine Sally as she has a bit of 'toe'. The ground wasn't too heavy because this was the first chase of the day and we were racing on the freshest part."
