Stonemaster continues on upward curve

THE famous Gigginstown House Stud colours were carried to success by yet another of their promising young horses, Stonemaster, in the Meteor Mobile Novice Hurdle at Limerick yesterday.

Powerfully handled by Davy Russell, he dug deep when the need was greatest to win decisively in the end.

Russell drove him hard to lead over the second last and Dessie Hughes’ charge stayed on dourly to beat front-running, Kusadasi, by two and a half lengths.
