Never Late overcomes trouble to take Limerick nightcap Well beaten on both previous starts, the Charles Byrnes-trained Never Late took a significant step forward when landing the concluding Play perysbingo.com Mares INH Flat Race at Limerick. Despite being sent off 33/1 under Anthony Bustin, Byrnes Bloodstock Limited's daughter of Mahler travelled strongly throughout the race. Although it looked as though her chance had gone when she found trouble in running early in the straight, the four-year-old found plenty once the gaps eventually opened. Staying on strongly close home, Never Late beat Think It Through a neck at the finish. Anthony Bustin said: "I broke her as a three-year-old and while she was very good to break, it probably took her time to learn and to know how to work. You wouldn't think she did tonnes in her two runs but once she has learned, she has been honest out. "It was brilliant to get a winner for the lads and hopefully she will go on now over hurdles, or whatever the boss decides to do." Additional reporting by Thomas Weekes.
