Boxing Great gives bookies a bashing Boxing Great blew his chance when slowly away here last time but gained compensation in spades when well backed to land the HRI Best Turned-Out Flat League Handicap at Dundalk. The Karl Thornton-trained gelding, available at 10/1 earlier in the day and sent off the 2/1 favourite, made headway to lead a furlong out and got well on top in the closing stages. Adam Caffrey’s mount beat Lady Plimsoll by a comfortable length and three-quarters with Voice Of Reason a neck back in third. Caffrey said, “His last run, he gave away plenty of lengths coming out of the stalls. Giving all that ground away, he wasn't too far away from Willie Mullins' horse (Gaucher) that day which came out and bolted up here then after that. The form was there. "It is a good trip for him, and he saw it out really well. His wind is his biggest issue, but he settled well and gave himself a chance. Once he does that, he has the ability. "There's definitely a big pot in him, I think." Quotes by Michael Graham
