Galway Plate a possibility as Star scrapes home

THOSE who waded into Royal County Star, from 8-13 to 4-9, in the Summerfest Chase at Killarney last night had their share of heart-stopping moments.

The defections of Keys Pride and Archie Boy left Tony Martin’s charge with just four opponents and it seemed a straightforward task.

He was driven to challenge front-running Knight Legend by Ruby Walsh going to the last, but got in a trifle tight to the obstacle and, suddenly, it was all to play for.
