Mullaghgloss continues Slattery's hot streak in bumpers Trainer Andy Slattery kept up his great run with bumper horses when Mullaghgloss (5/2) landed Galway's Student Raceday On October 27th Flat Race under Adam Ryan. The Walk In The Park four-year-old, owned by the Punchestown Friends Syndicate, had disappointed on his seasonal debut at Listowel but made amends here with a resolute display. Ridden in third two furlongs out, he stuck to his task well on the far rail in the straight as several of his rivals came towards the stands' side and led inside the final furlong to beat market leader Zeus Power by a length and a quarter. Andy Slattery's brother Willie saddled the winner and said: "He was well fancied the last day in Listowel but things just didn't go right and it has taken him two runs to learn how to race. "He settled better today and, to be fair, the jockey probably made the difference. Adam said beforehand that he felt the others would probably come wide, so he had his homework done. "He will go jumping hurdles now. "That's our eighth individual bumper winner from 10 or 11 runners this year - they are just nice horses." Additional reporting by Thomas Weekes
