Classy mare Blazing Tempo registered her ninth career success and sparked a double for champion trainer Willie Mullins and owner Susannah Ricci when justifying even-money favouritism in the Irish Stallion Farms Mares Hurdle at Kilbeggan’s final meeting of 2012 last evening.

Trainer Oliver Brady received a welcome boost when Duroob, ridden by Adrian Heskin, won the marathon Toals Bookmakers Ulster Grand National in Downpatrick yesterday, getting the better of fellow lightweight and favourite Talab by three lengths.

TRAINER Tony Martin had further cause to celebrate the recent return to action of champion jockey Ruby Walsh at Bellewstown last night where they combined to record a double with Pires and Dream Champion, repeating their achievement in Ballinrobe on Sunday.
