Light Up The Dark takes Listed prize at Limerick A quality field assembled for the concluding Kevin McManus Bookmaker Champion (Pro/Am) Flat Race at Limerick and Light Up The Dark sent favourite backers home happy with a decisive Listed success. A 6-5 shot to follow up her debut win in the McManus silks at Naas in early January, Joseph O’Brien’s youngster travelled strongly throughout under John Gleeson and responded well when push came to shove to repel the challenge of promising newcomer Starting Fifteen (ran green) by two and a quarter lengths. Berry added: “They probably didn’t go a mad gallop, but she did the job nicely. There were a lot of horses there turning in, but she quickened nicely and put it to bed. “She had a good attitude and the graded mares’ bumper at Punchestown might suit.” Quotes from Tom Weekes
