Gary Carroll makes it eight winners in five days on Cromwell's favourite Gary Carroll has finished the season with a flourish and he notched his eighth winner since Wednesday on Gavin Cromwell’s Loosen And Limber inthe Velo Coffee At The Curragh Maiden over a mile and a half. Third over course and distance on her previous start, the daughter of Golden Horn went second travelling well entering the straight and led over two furlongs out to account for Joe Cool by two and three quarter lengths. The three-year-old bay, sent off Evens favourite (from 6/4 on the show) is owned by the Riverstown Racing Syndicate, Mrs A L T Moore and Eoin Hughes. “We always really liked this filly. We thought she’d run a big race in Galway first time, but it’s a hard place for a first timer around there. She got a bit unbalanced and stayed on late,” said Carroll who was completing a double after winning earlier on Unique Journey. “She had a lovely run here the second time and I thought she stepped forward for it. She jumped and travelled better and took me down to the two. I wasn’t afraid to press on because I know she stays well. “She handles the ground and she’s a strong stayer. She’s a good-sized filly and she’s going to improve with age so unfortunately I can see her jumping an obstacle at some stage! “I did say she could always come back. I think she could step into those mile-and-a-half, mile-six or even two miles in time, staying handicaps with an ease in the ground. I think she’d fit right into them.” Additional reporting by Gary Carson
