Cherry Pink just prevails before the handicapper has his say Cherry Pink confirmed the promise of her third at Gowran last week when landing division two of the Next Meeting At Roscommon On Monday 19th May Handicap. The Ado McGuinness-trained mare was switched from the rail to get a clear run and after leading about 150 yards out, just held off the late surge of Si Senor by a nose. Knockmore Prince was two and a half lengths back in third. McGuinness said, “He (the handicapper) gave her 3lb the other day for being third which I thought was harsh. “We were in Killarney tomorrow off 60 and if she had run off 60 today she would have been well beat, so hopefully he can’t be too hard on her. “She’s a great fun filly but at her level. She won on the beach at Laytown last year and it’s great for Deepak (Dhand, owner) who is a local tiler beside me. “This is his first horse and she’s won three times, so he’s been very lucky. “Adam was very good on her.”
