Racecard-number 22 Hastily neatly landed Cork’s Follow Us On Social Media Handicap at odds of 22/1 today, as the Tom McGuinness-trained light-weight notched a fourth consecutive annual success.

Ridden by Jack Cleary and carrying just 8st8lbs, the daughter of Charm Spirit overcame recent ‘00007’ form-figures when racing prominently and defeating Lorr’s Girl by a half-length.

Rosslare, Co Wexford-based McGuinness reported “she has won at the age of three, four, five and now six but he hard enough to train and is temperamental. She is hard work at the start and tries to kick other horses but on her day, she isn’t too bad.

“She won here previously so we thought the track would suit and the good ground suited, so there was a lot in her favour. She got a good ride as he managed to get her to jump out well: she had been slow out of stalls a lot lately but got over that today.

“Our last winner was back in December and the bigger the gap, the more you enjoy it.”
