“The owners didn't come as I put them off!" reflected trainer Paul Flynn following a 16/1 success with Feature This in Dundalk's Join On Instagram Handicap today, which added further to a difficult night for punters.
The 54-rated daughter of The Gurkha battled well under jockey Robert Whearty for a half-length win over Kudbegood with the surprise success adding to the card's earlier 9/1, 12/1, 14/1 (two) and 33/1 winners.
Feature This is owned by Ian Brassil and Brian McInerney and afterwards Flynn added “the lads watched it at home but rang me and are all chuffed - they didn't come as I put them off!
“The cheekpieces seemed to work, she jumped and travelled well and he gave her a great ride. It was great to see her winning. We'll keep her going here, I think she is an all-weather filly and think she'll keep progressing because she is quite weak. She will learn from that and maybe get more confidence."
