Review BELLEWSTOWN 27th Aug

Wed 27th Aug 2008, 18:40

< Lonesome Maverick made every post a winning one in the www.bellewstownraces.ie Handicap.

Davy Moran dictated terms to suit himself on the Donal Kinsella-trained 7-1 shot, who hinted that a return to form may be imminent when fifth at the Galway Festival.

He kicked clear rounding the turn for home and never looked like being caught on his way to a two-and-a-half-length verdict over Un Hinged

Rory Cleary is riding at the top of his game at present and Haaf OK was the latest to benefit from his skills in the saddle in the Tally Ho Stud Auction Maiden.

Only fifth at Dundalk on her introduction, the Haafhd filly was a big drifter in the market but cruised up to take the lead at the two-furlong marker and, from that point, the result never looked in doubt.

The 13-2 chance stretched away without too much effort and strolled across the line seven lengths in front of Areutherepeg

Those who took the cramped odds about Rock And Roll Kid had their fingers burned when Saturday's impressive Curragh winner couldn't make the frame in division one of the Ulster Bank N.E. Business Centre & Property Finance Handicap.

The prize went to another last-start scorer in Kaitlins Joy (13-2), who swooped down the outside under Seamus Heffernan to beat Lord Rathvinden by two and a half lengths.

The second division went the way of 25-1 outsider Toberogan who inflicted a neck defeat on Send Me Home after catching him in the dying strides.

Barry Geraghty never gave up on Quartino (20-1) and reaped the rewards for his persistence in the Tully Bookmakers 1800 200010 Hurdle.

Jessica Harrington's charge looked a sitting duck when favourite Gay Sloane loomed up between the last two, but his challenge was hampered when he made a hash of the final flight and Quartino dug deep to claim the spoils.
