Send Harry to Dundalk and he'll run well

Seven furlongs at Dundalk is a good fit for Send Harry and the 10/3 chance  took the second division of the Irishinjuredjockeys.com Handicap under Adam Browne-Souza.

A course and distance winner just over a year ago and second here last month, the Harry Angel gelding, raced behind the leaders on the rail.

After the runners fanned out across the track in the straight, he improved to lead over a furlong out and had three-parts of a length in hand of Coasting at the line. 

“He's a good, honest, horse and is still learning, even at the age of four,” said winning trainer Evanna McCutcheon.

“We've had a few frustrating runs. He loves the surface here and at least when you come here, you get a ground description and you know it's right.

“We had a few frustrating days on the grass. Last week in Down Royal, no-one said it was good ground, that's the frustration of racing sometimes. Here is good, old, reliable.

“He's won here before and it's good for the (Golden Brown) syndicate to have a fun horse, unfortunately a couple of them couldn't be here today, but they might venture back again.

“We'll run him away. He's an older horse now and we're not rushing to give him a break.

“I don't think there is anything here for him in the next couple of weeks, but we'll find another one. We know the road here anyway!”
