Goose wins for the McCarthys at Wexford It was a family affair for the McCarthys in the first division of the Pat Farrell Memorial Handicap at Wexford. The Eoin McCarthy-trained Who’s Da Goose, making his handicap debut, proved victorious in the colours of the trainer’s daughter Clodagh. Gary Noonan produced the 25/1 shot with a strong late run to collar front-runner Sekakarma on the long run-in and secure a three-parts-of-a-length victory. “Clodagh finished up her Leaving Cert and came working for me, and I said we’d get a store together. We bought this fella, and I’m delighted for Clodagh more than anything,” said McCarthy. “He’s a lovely little horse and he might tip away in that kind of company. “It was a messy race. I think they went too hard and Gary was dropped in. It probably fell in our lap a little bit, but we’ll take it any day we get it! “He’s only four, so hopefully he can improve away.” The final two flights in the two-and-a-half mile contest were omitted due to the angle of the sun.
