Colleen Danu overcomes error to lead home Foley 1-2 Despite making a bad mistake earlier in the race, Colleen Danu recovered to lead home a 1-2 for trainer Pat Foley in the Money Back Daily Specials With Tote.ie Handicap Hurdle at Clonmel. Almost on the deck at the fourth flight, the Relwal Syndicate owned mare worked her way back into the race under a patient ride from Alex Harvey. Coming through to head leader Ned In The Park after two out, the 11/1 chance was soon challenged by stablemate Arctic Flame on the run to the last but found more on the run-in to score by three-and-a-half lengths. Pat Foley said: "She was 8lb higher today than when winning this race last year but had the benefit of having had a run under her belt this time. Her Limerick run was on unsuitable ground but that stood to her. "That's her third win for me and she is a sister to Absolute Notions, so the local syndicate will breed from her eventually. She could go for a summer chase now, as she is great to jump fences." (Quotes by Thomas Weekes).
