Hurricane blows away rivals The Jessica Harrington-trained Hurricane Ivor led his rivals a merry dance when making a winning return in the DAR Golf Handicap at Naas. Scott McCullagh’s mount had his rivals at work early in the straight and soon scooted clear. The 20/1 shot could afford to ease up near the line to record a three-and-three-quarters-of-a-length win over Money Dancer. “When he’s on song he’s on song!” said Harrington. “He worked really well the other day up Walsh’s Hill (at the Curragh). Scott rode him and he tanked up there. “I had no idea, I thought the ground was maybe a bit heavy for him but when he’s in a going mood like that he’s very strong. “He loves bossing it. When he won last year on the Curragh, actually on good ground, Shane let him just roll along. “As he’s got older seven furlongs seems to be no problem and he might go a mile. He’s such a cool dude. “On that ground if you get away they can’t make up ground on you. He just loved it and Scott said the more he pulled out of him the more he wanted to run away with him. He’s a character. “He’s been some servant to Fiona (Carmichael).”
