WEIGHT of numbers proved decisive in the final of the Beamish 575 Stakes at Curraheen Park on Saturday night as trainer Paul Hennessy, with four of the six runners, duly filled two of the first three places with Phoenix Ice and Taming The Tiger.

FERRYFORTH Donie, owned by Liam Egan of Freemount Charleville, Co. Cork, who carded 28.65 when winning his pre-sale trial realised the top price of €13,000 when he was knocked down to a cash buyer at the Curraheen Park sales yesterday.
