Morell River bags second Wexford win Morell River (7/1) registered a second career success today, both at Wexford, landing that course’s Forth Mountain Trails Mares Handicap Hurdle for owner Mary Fitzpatrick, trainer Colin Bowe and jockey Sean O’Keeffe. The six-year-old mare’s maiden success came in October and today, on seasonal reappearance, was produced from rear to lead at the last, beating Simple Things by 1.5 lengths. O’Keeffe, with his fourth winner in May, said “she’s improving nicely and she jumped really well today. Her jumping has really sharpening up. She was very straightforward. “There was no pressure on, with it being her first run of the season and in fairness to Colin Bowe, he’s a top man to have them ready.” Quotes from Gary Carson
