Run For The Border scores for Ryan and Kenneally Eighty-six rated mare Run For The Border (10/1) scored a first career success today, landing Limerick’s Vision Contracting Maiden Hurdle for trainer John Ryan and jockey Michael Kenneally. Racing for owner/breeder Declan Donohoe, the daughter of English Derby-winner Rule Of The World had finished well held in five previous outings but today was anchored in rear before progressing to eventually lead at the last, to score by 1.5 lengths from How’s The Head. Ryan reported “she is a nice mare and I had her half-brother Versin Getorix who broke down the day he won, and I could never get him right afterwards. “Michael said she rides like a huge mare, she has a big front and is a gorgeous mare. She had been running too keen all along but Michael is well able to grab one back and get one to settle. It was the first really good ride she has got. “It wasn’t much of a race but she is one to look forward to.”
