Eighty wins by Street

Wed 8th Jun 2011, 18:32

Eightybarackstreet drew away impressively in the closing stages to claim the Valley Of Honey Maiden Hurdle at Clonmel.

Barry Geraghty produced his mount, travelling well, to move into contention turning for home and he jumped to the front at the second last. Mister First tried to go with the 3/1 favourite from the penultimate flight but couldn't match him and Tom Cooper's charge stretched clear from the last for a nine-length victory.

"He'll keep going during the summer and jump a fence in time," said Cooper.

"The little ease in the ground helped over that trip as he probably wants two-and-a-half miles.

"He's been a little disappointing a few times and probably doesn't handle real winter ground."
