Across The Card Double for Hughes

Sun 31st May 2009, 15:21

Anybody that saw Dessie Hughes' presence in Kilbeggan as significant, given that his College Daisy had taken the second race at Listowel, were rewarded at odds of 10/1 about Trimbellina in the Sunday Family Day At Kilbeggan Maiden Hurdle.

Roger Loughran had the Presenting mare in front from four out and she showed a really good attitude to fend off the well-backed favourite, Glaczer Flyer by one and a quarter lengths.

Hughes said: "She is a half-sister to Watson Lake. She loved the good ground, and she hasn't got it since her first run which is over a year ago. Hopefully she'll win another hurdle but she will go chasing as she isn't the fastest in the world. She will be a valuable broodmare and her owner Gerry Burke (Galway man) will be delighted with her."
