De Bromhead completes Wexford double Well-backed The Best Woman (9/4 — 6/4f) provided trainer Henry De Bromhead with a Wexford double today, landing the concluding Irish Stallion Farms EBF Mares Bumper for the Best Women Syndicate and jockey John Gleeson. The five-year-old daughter of Yeats had finished third in a Cork bumper last Saturday and today scored by 1.25 lengths from Gortnaclea Castle . De Bromhead, earlier successful with Workahead, said “I’m delighted for the syndicate as it’s their first horse with us and Conor Hayes recommended the mare to them. John (Gleeson) gave her a super ride and she’s a lovely mare, so there is plenty to look forward to with her. “She was made favourite in the end but she had to go and do it and I thought she stuck at it well. I thought John was very positive on her. “We’ll give her a break now but we’ll have her back earlier as she definitely prefers a bit of nice ground. She’ll go hurdling, she’s already had a couple of nice runs over hurdles.” Quotes from Gary Carson
