Party Jay Cee snatches North Cork Cup in a thriller

THERE was a thrilling finish to the North Cork Cup at Millstreet, Co. Cork yesterday when Party Jay Cee came racing through to narrowly take the opening turn against Millbridge Eoin and capture the prize.

The winner had put out the overnight favourite, Blazing Serpent in the semi-final. He was away smartly from slips and although Blazing Serpent closed as they neared the hare he had to give best by a length. Millbridge Eoin saw off Tubbermartin Lad in his semi-final, taking the opening turn by three lengths.

Millbridge Eoin looked set to win the decider when he led Party Jay Cee from slips but as they neared the hare Party Jay Cee drove in to take the spoils.
