Caffrey proves cool on Goal Adam Caffrey came in for plenty of praise after giving Goal Exceeded a perfectly-judged ride in the Lidan Handicap at Roscommon. The Ado McGuinness-trained gelding came between horses to challenge inside the final furlong and the well-backed 7/2 favourite led in the last 50 yards to record a half-length win over Morehampton. It was a second win in four runs for the Iffraaj gelding, who was recording his fourth career victory. “It was a great ride. He’s a tricky enough customer, but has loads to ability,” said McGuinness. “I thought he was very good him because he jumped smart and was too keen. In fairness to Adam, it was ballsy the way he took him back and buried him. “If he had got beat they would have called him everything, but it’s the only way to ride this fella. “You just need to produce him right on the line, and he did that. He just loves passing horses. “I couldn’t fault him, it was a great ride. Fair play to the boys (Breen and Martin White and Declan Sheridan), they are good supporters of mine.”
