Money for Verified proves well founded Verified justified good support when claiming the WTW Willis Handicap at Cork this afternoon. The Gerry Keane-trained gelding hadn’t made much impression last time in Navan after missing the kick, having been runner-up at Down Royal previously. He went to post 9/2 favourite this afternoon having been 8/1 this morning. Gary Carroll held the Camacho gelding up in the early stages of the six furlong contest before hitting the front a furlong out and going on to post a length win over Pansy Poe. "He is a grand horse and has been waiting for that ease in the ground,” said Keane. “He had form on this ground here before we got him and we had been looking for a race all year for him. This ground and race came just at the right time. "Gary rides a lot of work for us, had ridden this horse at home and with Colin initially due to be elsewhere today, we left Gary on.  "He probably wants that six furlongs and there's a race for him in Navan next week."
