Tariff just edges Thurles contest The Conor Maxwell-trained Tariff (8/1) was victorious in the Boylesports Handicap at Thurles Racecourse for rider Rory Cleary. The three-year-old son of Starspangledbanner ran a big race in Cork before a wide draw hampered his performance on his latest start in Listowel. He showed a fine attitude today, backing up those solid runs with victory by a nose over the fast-finishing Princess Chloe. Speaking after the race, trainer Maxwell said: "We went to Listowel really fancying him and while he had a wide draw there, was drawn wide again today, which actually suits him as he likes a bit of room. "He has come on in all his runs, his run in Cork was very good and we've been waiting on soft ground for him all year. He is only a light little horse and looks like a Dundalk-horse but he wants slow ground. "We'll try and get him out quickly again before the end of the season. "I have a few bits and pieces for the end of the season and for Dundalk, and have a few two-year-olds left to run. I'm trying to regroup with new horses from the sales for next year as well."
