‘There's hardly a hair left on my head with her’ relayed trainer Tom Hogan at Navan today, following his frustrating mare Share The Treasure rsquo;s 33/1 success in the concluding Racing On September 6th Handicap.

Carrying the colours of Robert Gill, the daughter of Raven's Pass stepped up in distance to 1m6f for the first time today and having settled behind the leaders under Wesley Joyce, eventually scored an all-out short-head success over Arcland .

Gordon Lord Byron’s trainer added “I wouldn't keep her for as many runs (a 17-race maiden) if she didn't shown much at home, but she shows loads. She would work to a mark of about 80, but would run to 40.

"She is problematic and Wesley gave her a brilliant ride. I told him to keep taking her back and back all the time and that she would take a hold but to keep playing with her mouth. I also told him to pull wide in the straight because she is just cowardly when she is in among horses.

“If she gets her act together, she could win a few more."

Jockey Joyce was recording his second winner in three days.
