Caesar Music may deny Fitzgerald further glory

ACE trainer Pa Fitzgerald’s won’t be giving up hope of further Irish Cup glory without a a big battle.

Despite the disappointment of having to withdraw favourite Kerry Call with a muscle injury, he still has a live contender in Chelsea Speed, who clocked on of the fastest times of the opening round at Limerick Racecourse yesterday.

However, on this occasion Fitzgerald and owner Patsy Byrne may find one too good in Caesar Music, trained by Kevin Barry, who also achieved a fast clock despite being unsighted for part of the journey against Highland Harbour.
