The John Joe Walsh trained Hard Bought registered his sixth career win in the Renvyle House Hotel Handicap Chase at Galway today, completing a double on the day for jockey Philip Enright.
Enright, earlier successful on the Robert Tyner trained Midnight Stroll moved Hard Bought to lead three out and while the pair edged left briefly on the run-in, held runner-up First To Boogie by a length at the line. The Stewards later called an Enquiry but left the result unchanged.
Afterwards trainer Walsh stated “he went well and jumped great and that’s his trip. Maybe it was a bit quick for him at Clonmel the last day and Philip gave him a great ride today.
“We put cheek-pieces on him today and maybe it woke him up a little bit more. Hopefully he’ll win again and we’ll get something else for him along the line.”
