Distroyer destroys opposition

RIDER Richie Harding dominated yesterday’s well-attended Muskerry Foxhounds point-to-point meeting at Birch Hill outside Grenagh by partnering a three-timer.

The Castletownroche amateur got off the mark aboard confirmed fast-ground specialist The Dark Distroyer in the seven-runner open. In truth, this six-year-old destroyed the opposition by making all the running, jumping impeccably in the process.

The Dark Distroyer (5/1-4/1) could be called the most likely winner from four out as eventual runner-up Sister Phoebe was never able to mount a serious challenge, 15 lengths being the winning margin.
