Quest causes a surprise in mares chase

Thu 28th Oct 2010, 16:41

Cool Quest upstaged some better fancied rivals in the Irish Stallion Farms European Breeders Fund Mares Beginners Chase to cause a 25/1 surprise under Kevin Coleman at Clonmel.

Terence O'Brien 's winner was getting the better of Tramp Stamp when that one fell at the last. She was down for a while but eventually got to her feet. That left Dolly Hall to come home an eleven length second with the unlucky favourite Star Wood (bad mistake and no chance after four out) a length further back in third.

O'Brien said: "She jumped well at home but if she'd been 4th or 5th I'd have been happy. She was a crazy price, she is better than that as she had some great runs over hurdles. She always runs well fresh and we had got plenty of work into her. She is well-handicapped over hurdles so we'll mix it with her."
