Rails pitch to suit Macoboy

MACOBOY has been an expensive dog to follow in his short career to date, but there’s no doubting the pace of Ted McCarthy’s pup and he can gain a deserved breakthrough in tonight’s final of the Vincy Barry Construction A4 at Curraheen Park.

The youngster, who is a litter brother to last Friday’s A5 Stake winner Direct Customer, has been in the wars on all three outings to date and it wouldn’t have required much luck to turn those three runner-up finishes into three victories.

In tonight’s race, he has drawn the rails pitch for the first time and it should work a treat. Balamory Boy, who runs from trap two, moves wide on the run-up and that should leave Macoboy with plenty of room to work with.
