Enigmatic Watson Lake strikes Oil under inspired Carberry drive

THE enigmatic, but talented, Watson Lake was on a going day at Clonmel yesterday, finding enough for the inspired Paul Carberry to win the Grade 2 Clonmel Oil Chase.

Taken to the front at the sixth fence from home, the fourth and third last obstacles were eliminated, Watson Lake made the rest.

One Cool Cookie, second as well in the race a year ago, tried hard to close the leader down from the last, but was always being held and was a length and three parts adrift at the line.
