Blaze burns off rivals in maiden

JESSICA Harrington’s Blaze Brightly, who had finished second three times previously, got it right for Fran Berry in the Median Auction Maiden at Listowel yesterday.

Berry, who has been struggling for winners of late, showed no lack of confidence, driving the filly into contention in the straight.

Pat Smullen committed Lake Worth before half way, but the winner gradually wore him down and was nicely on top close home.
