Bethrah delivers with minimum of fuss

IF there was a possible star of the future on show on last night’s all-flat programme at Limerick then it was probably Dermot Weld’s once-raced Bethrah.

The daughter of Marju was always a short price for the Irish Stallion Farms’ EBF Fillies Maiden, and justified the cramped odds with the minimum of fuss.

Taken into the lead from the start by Pat Smullen, she only had to be nudged out through the final furlong to score unextended by three and a half lengths.
